Has anyone heard of this new Virus protection called 'Blink'? Apparently, it has only been out for a few weeks and I'm trying to find out just how good it is. It is free for one year with a small fee from then on and it's downloadable.

For your PC to be OK, you have to protect it from viruses and hackers!
The virus is a small program that attach itself to other files from your computer and can harm your computer, by restarting it, freezing it or even by deleting your files or stealing your personal information.
To keep your computer safe from viruses you have to use an anti-virus program, like Norton, AVG, Kaspersky, Avast, Antivir, McAfee, Bit Defender. Some are free and others have trial versions.
Here you have some links to download the free versions of some of the best anti-virus programs, as well as other security tools:

I would honestly recommend that you use a good anti-virus program, not one that has just appeared on the market, because any new program has a lot of bugs and it takes quite some time run smoothly.

most virus are spread through IE. IE is not a safe browser. you should use a more secure browser to protect your PC from virus.
i recommand you to use firefox with Google toolbar. firefox can block any any popup and disable any virus and adware, spyware on webpage, so, firefox is much safer than IE browser. as you know, most of virus spread throught internet and webpage.
besides, firefox is much smaller than IE, so it run faster than IE.
download firefox for free, Just have a try:

i always give the same answer to anyone i know who asks about virus protection
the best one is AVG Free, its free for personal use, it automatically updates itself every day, and it scans your computer on a regular basis at a time it notices you don't use it much and it wont be in the way
