I think the number is somewhere around 10 million cases of identity theft or identity fraud every year in the U.S. alone.

While recently doing some work for a client who runs a network security business called Breached Systems, I was introduced to an end-point security software called Blink.

Blink provides home PC protection plus Internet Security including all-in-one antivirus, antispyware, antiphishing, identity theft protection, plus personal firewalls. Created by eEye digital security and offered as a fully functional (and free) one-year trial. After the first year, they charge $25/year to continue using the product.

I was convinced when a friend downloaded Blink, scanned his hard drive, and found 11 threats including a keystroke logger that his other “security” software had failed to detect.

So, if you’re worried about your security (and you should be), consider taking action before it’s too late.
