Enterprise security vendor eEye is preparing to unveil a free version
of Blink security software for consumers next week.

Blink offers a single application that among things protects against
buffer overflow and phishing attacks. It also offers intrusion
prevention, application white listing and location specific security
settings.

Consumers will be asked to share data on attacks that target their
computers. The company's chief executive Ross Brown said that the
company aims for the software to act as the world's largest honeypot,
allowing the firm's security experts to collect samples of live
exploits and malware as soon as they become available.
