QuestionCurrent status of anti- WannaCry and similar for Windows 7 ? Pin

What is the best anti-trojan/virus/etc. for Windows 7 ?

Hello. This is a general question asking for specifics, not opinions. Please either give references with your answers or state if they are from direct experience.

I have been tasked with building an older system with Windows 7 Professional or Windows 7 Ultimate.

I have been reading that Windows 7 is vulnerable to the WannaCry trojan/virus/etc. and others of that type.

Yes, I have been searching the net. I want further input from what I have found.

I am looking for a (if possible) 100% effective way to block those trojans while being able to surf the net (with Windows 7) and view any page therein.

I would like to use Firefox 100+ and definately not Google chrome.

Do not tell me to upgrade to a newer version of Windows as that is not an option.

Do not tell me to change to Unix or Linux or some version of those as that is not an option.

Thank you for your input.
