"Honestly not even worth wasting my time. "
ChatGPT, translate!
“I have no actual evidence, but it feels good to me.”
What’s agressive is forcing endless upgrades for no reason. No one can even provide a single source of evidence for these amazing Hollywood viruses besides “everyone knows” or urban legends. You don’t even check into what really happens and happily confirm your bias.
Like I said a million times, you have to purposely run an executable to get these amazing trojans and viruses. Windows 7 doesn’t magically pull them out of the ether and runs them with a 24 style countdown timer.

I did: “how do you get computer viruses”
Answer: “Computer viruses can be spread via email, with some even capable of hijacking email software to spread themselves. Others may attach to legitimate software, within software packs, or infect code, and other viruses can be downloaded from compromised application stores and infected code repositories.”
Try it yourself. No mention of Windows 7, all about USERS INSTALLING THEM.
QED.
