Is the presence of Kaspersky Total Security sufficient to protect my PC from viruses, malware etc. , without Microsoft support ?

No, sadly.

About the only way to stay secure would be to take the PC offline altogether.

You can get still upgrade to Windows 10 for free through - so you might as well upgrade.

You Can Still Get Windows 10 for Free With a Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 Key

Microsoft's free Windows 10 upgrade offer is over--or is it? There's still a way to activate Windows 10 with a Windows 7, 8, or 8.

No. Absolutely not. It's very common for vulnerabilities to be found not in the Windows 7 code per se, but in the protocols on which Windows 7 depends (SSL, SMBv1, are a couple of recent examples). Even the best anti-malware in the world won't protect you against future vulnerabilities that are found in common protocols and which are not fixed by Windows updates.

Just to reiterate, no, the OS itself will be exposed, the only way to truly protect is take it offline.

there’s already a zero day flaw in Internet Explorer which won’t be patched for windows 7.
