* Q3 EPS $0.85 vs $0.84 forecast * Sees Q4 non-GAAP EPS $0.90-$0.98, revenue $365-$395 mln * Nasdaq shares up 2.8 pct at new year high By Tova Cohen TEL AVIV, Oct 21 (Reuters) - Computer security provider Check Point Software Technologies topped third-quarter profit and revenue forecasts on Monday and said it sees a strong fourth quarter after a weak start to the year. One of the global leaders in the corporate fight against cybercrime and computer viruses said sales were boosted by its threat prevention software blades - modular software building blocks sold as annual subscriptions. New product launches and an improving economy in Europe also helped lift sales of computer protection technology. "We have a lot of competition and we need to grow faster," Chief Executive Gil Shwed told a news conference. "This could be through better products and also partly by acquisitions." Check Point, which has cash of nearly $3.7 billion, is seeking acquisitions that will bring new solutions to its clients, he said.
