[QUOTE="Fuzzfas, post: 854570, member: 4553"] Those programs are more than enough. I know people that run Win7SP1 without any updates, with just a free antivirus and they 're "clean" to this date. With the programs you mention, you will be far more secure than the vast majority of ordinary Win10 users... The real threat to Win7 is and has been, the lack of new hardware support. I upgraded to Ryzen 2600 for the fact that it's the last officially supported AMD generation for Win7. Actually, Ryzen 3000 has been now supported through a hacked USB driver, so next year, i will probably go for 3700x. I did the same for a laptop (i bought it while it could still support Win7). The other thing is some new software, like a new game, that will only support Win10 and you won't be able to live without it. Otherwise, security wise, you can make Win7 safe as Fort Knox, with 3rd party software. [/QUOTE]
