...hackers are looking for Windows 7 machines. Our firewall at work reports on the attacks and they are all after windows 7 machines and they are trying from all over the globe.

Is that even true with things like Norton?

They're poking around looking for windows 7 vulnerabilities. Norton I believe would find anything if they get something placed. If antivirus is up to date, I would think it would be good, but since windows 7 isn't updating there may be other issues somehow. Not an IT guy, just know enough to get into trouble. LOL.

We upgraded or replaced all our work PC's (30) to Windows 10 and I did my desktop and laptop at home too. It was like $300 for both machines for me. There was a time you could update for free. You might be able to find something out there still. Just have to make sure it has the horse power and the disk space.
