      @Dr-Flay said in the one and only legit FREE antivirus for WINDOWS:

      Updates for Win 7 will still be available until they stop making them.
      Any time a security problem is bad enough they WILL push the updates to all, exactly as they have done for XP with out of bounds updates.

      Network admin tools will likely be the best way to keep 7 updated rather than the built-in updater.
      There is also a project setup to handle releasing win7 updates
      https://0patch.com

      Windows 10 does actually have the same config panels as Win 7 so things like the desktop icons are done exactly the same way.
      Use something like Winareo tweaker to enable the win 7 GUI features you miss.
      My Win 10 looks like a freakish win 7

      My Win 10 looks like any SO

        @Dr-Flay wonderful, i will try this application right away. but however that's what i was wondering, if there are serious security flaws they will be patched regardless of the OS version...

        edit: 0patch is a total scam. download free, get any patch after paying subscription (whenever they are needed or not it is not explained since you have to pay anyway)

          Yes, you are right that the only Free Anti-Virus for windows is BitDefender.But it comes with great potential to threat your Privacy and Data. However Anti-Virus can deplete these chances and can protect you from any foriegn intrusion. Relying on these Free Anti-Virus is not going to cover your protection Online.

            Huh? What specifically is BitDefender doing that others aren't?

            I post from my phone frequently, which likes to change "the" to "three". If you see three or similar, I probably meant "the". I use swipe, so typos can be totally unrelated words to what I intended. Knowing this should help you read through my typos.

              I used Panda Free in the past, when Windows Defender was still the worst.Panda has never let me down and also in its free version has always been among the best, with excellent user service, both in the Panda Wiki, and in the support forum.

                  Yes, and also a good VPN in the free versión (ok, límited in data and server). Its a really good alternative to Windows Defender, very lightwight and fast. But the paid versión isn't very cheap.
