Windows 7 is a virus petri dish. Windows 7 users are likely computers not connected to the internet. Or, company owned computers or virtual machines that run applications which are not Windows 10 compatible. Those apps must be very old. And they are probably great portals for spyware.
Then how come I have never lost a penny to hackers after using the internet since 1993? Been using Windows 7 since it came out. My method to avoid getting hacked is so cheap and simple, it is ridiculous. My computers run faster without virus protection and I do not need security updates with my method.
Interesting assertions. I guarantee you that the vast majority of WIn7 machines are in fact connected to the internet. Why? Because they’re getting recorded in the very database this article/thread is about. Hello?
Now, I do expect that to change more rapidly after Jan 2020. But now? Seriously, get a grip on the stats.
