Got it thank you! I mostly use the computer for specific photo editing and cad design and the thought of transferring everything to a new system is daunting wine what I have still works just fine. With my limited internet use i think i am okay!
I would agree. My Win7 VMs are only used locally (no internet) for photo and audio editing, because like you I have a large investment in legacy software and can't reasonably convert everything to some newer product.
Remain extra alert when on the internet (even FR or email), and while there are no guarantees, you should be okay. Situational awareness is the most effective anti-malware protection. And it's free! :-)
