What do you mean by big breaches?

I'm very happy with the performance of my PC running Windows 7 Pro and do not want to change. Ever, really... unless I have to.

I don't do any online banking on this thing, ordering from Amazon is about as dangerous as I get. I have free anti-virus, anti-malware, and "cleaner" programs that I run (scans) on the regular. I've been trouble-free.

Have been thinking about going with LifeLock since before I heard about MS dumping W7. Now they are including Norton in their basic package. Will probably do it soon.

Am I most likely okay for the foreseeable future?
