MS support for Windows 7 will terminate in a few months. I want to continue using it;any suggestions for a good anti-virus program,free or not? Anything else I should do to prepare for non support?

My beloved Win7 box is still going strong. I use it to test my software and for Quickbooks etc. I have simply unplugged it from the internet. It seems to be running faster now than it has for years without a bunch of apps desperately trying to auto-update themselves.

McAfee, Kaspersky, Avira, Malwarebytes, AVG, BitDefender, ScanGuard, Total AV, and etc. have good products that are free*(at the cost of telemetry, of course, but which company doesn't this day?, besides is the best way to keep ahead and up to date with all kinds of common malware's); but this days, fighting the day-to-day good fight is on the abuse of massive advertisement, the planting of "cookies" for tracking and profiling trought it and etc, about that, just an open (manageable) and good "Web Browsers" will do the job, the modern ones are still compatible with such OS version and have the option of add-ons/plug-ins that can alleviate such load (bandwidth + CPU/GPU usage).
Otherwise all apart from the rest is just mental!...

Take a look at Sandboxie which enables one to run any program, but especially browsers in a sandbox.

I will be using Win 7 on my wife's computer until one of us is dead--or she really ticks me off--and both events may occur at the same time. I simply do not want to put up with the gnashing of teeth, complaining, and 5AM wakeups that "My computer isn't working: I can't get Dr. Phil video's on my screen."
