Despite Microsoft’s repeated warnings to Windows 7 users, there may still be a couple of hundred million users, many of them in businesses. Microsoft Windows 7 – launched in 2009 – came to the end of its supported life on Tuesday.
If I do stay with Windows 7, what should I worry about, and how can I protect myself? I have been running Kaspersky Total Security for several years, which has worked well so far. I’m a widow and can’t afford to run out and get a new PC at this time, or pay for Windows 10. I do a lot of work on a Windows 7 desktop PC that is about five years old.
