Dec 9, 2005 5:20PM PST

Security vendor eEye Digital Security Inc. plans to add antivirus capabilities to its Blink intrusion prevention product, and will release a beta version of the software early next year, according to a company executive.

"We are developing our own generic antivirus now," said eEye co-founder and Chief Hacking Officer Marc Maiffret, in an interview.

A beta version of the software will be made available to Blink users in early in 2006, he said. "It'll be an update basically, so any customers who have [Blink] will get it for free."
