Although the Microsoft Windows 7 operating system has an improved security foundation, Microsoft strongly recommends use of a comprehensive security solution. No operating system can be completely secure against attack. Even the most secure operating systems can be defeated when users are fooled into allowing malicious software to run.
For maximum security, more security professionals recommend use of layers of security working together to guard against malicious software, infected web pages, intrusions and more.
As with any complex operating system or application, there are bound to be vulnerabilities. Many viruses, Trojans and worms are known to successfully attack Windows 7.
