Great product

Pros: I saw a demo of this product against Cisco's and MaCafee's "Antivirus" and "IPS". Basically they tried to exploit MS04-041, Sasser, which is a known virus and the Cisco agent shut down the PC and the MaCafee did nothing. Blink stopped the attack. I have run into several viruses on PC's that Symantec, CA, Trend and all other big name companies can't stop or clean but Blink killed the process and cleaned the virus. Yes it seems to be a resource hog at first but it basically takes an EXE and runs it in a virtual XP instance to make sure it is safe. After that it keeps track of the MD5 hash so it never has to scan that file again unless it is changed. I use this on my home PC with no issues. I am now looking to implement it in the company I work for and so far I have installed it on 8 PC's and 1 server and caught 8 viruses that Trend had no idea existed. eEye, which created blink, has been discovering the vulnerabilities in software before the software vendors do and they, if needed, write a rule to block the vulnerability so not just one virus is stopped but all of them are.

If you get viruses frequently or know someone who does I strongly recommend this product.

Cons: non tech people will think it slowed down their PC but in fact it is actually working hard to protect them. Give it some time and you will see the benefits
