New computers are great but re-installation of a bunch of software part of that deal for me. So, I will use my computer until it breaks.
So is your computer not good enough to run Windows 10 (which is free) or are you just dragging your feet on change? There is no good reason to be running Windows 7 anymore on your main machine and you certainly shouldn't be investing money in security software for it when you wouldn't have to if you upgraded.
If you have some kind of special Windows 7 software requirements then now would be a good time to image your hard drive so you can run it in a sandboxed (non-internet connected) virtual machine on a Windows 10 or Linux system. The Tech Board would even help you do it.
If you don't and are just being lazy/resistant to change then you're playing with fire when it comes to system security. You might be just fine in the end or you might end up part of a botnet. Good luck! (eta: keep a backup!)

Yes, I am backing up my hard drive.
I intend to continue to use Webroot for the time being for Anti virus software.
This idea of yours has given me pause. I'll have to give this some thought.
Thanks.
