So this makes the OS more secure? Is anyone still writing viruses for Win 7 ?

This allows MSE to continue updating.

Windows 7 gets the same virus definition updates as win 11. A for "Is anyone writing viruses for Win 7", new viruses, no, but for the $0 cost why not run MSE just in case.

25 years on the internet so I've joined quite a few forums over the years. Now that I think about it, more like 500. 200 auto related forums alone. Doesn't mean I'm active in all of them.

That is impressive.

No problems on forums either with Win 7.

In my opinion, compatibility issue more matters than security issue. UAC is doing their job since Vista.

I use the ESET firewall and it blocks 1000+ connections per day, most of them coming from Microsoft.
