Re: Let's talk about windows seven end of life...
Comparing Apple to UAC is, forgive the horrible pun, comparing apples to oranges. Apple literally bars apps from running in the current build unless their devs pay Apple the $100 a year for notorization. UAC is technically effective against zeroday vulnerabilities and malicious code, but when you run damn near any game program such as those from BSC and any game that has direct control over the sound hardware and such, then you are going to definitely get UAC notifications. And unless you can whitelist certain programs to run permanently without UAC notifying yo, then the solution is to disable notifications. The copy-protection system for BSC's programs seemed to put license data in the c:\windows\system32 directory. I don't know which drm system is is, but the company that developed it must not have been thinking very rationally there - I mean I get hiding stuff from plain site to protect against piracy, but how could they not expect it to trigger the anti-viruses? Lol!
The real way to stay secure, along with common sense of course, is to backup, backup your backups, and backup the backups of your backups. But seeing as that won't necessarily stop your data from being stolen, going the u2f route can really do wonders. I.e. a password manager that accepts logins via a u2f security key rather than a enterable master password, so that in the even theres a keystroke logger, they won't ever get that master password you typed or pasted into a password manager.
As for Windows 7 end of life? Bout time. Windows 10 runs swimmingly on this machine, granted it has a 4.1ghz intel core i7 6core cpu that hyperthreads and 16gb of ram, but really as long as you aren't running windows 10 with 4gb of ram or less and are using an ssd, you're fine.
