So if you're still using Windows 7 uninstall Chrome and use Firefox as it is the only mainstream browser to support Windows 7 (and 8.1). Of course, you really shouldn't be connecting Windows 7 boxes to the internet anymore so only do this if you physically can't use a different OS.
People keep saying this, but I don't understand why they say it. Win7 box behind a firewall. AV turned on. How is a mature well-patched OS (Win7) LESS secure than oh, say, Win10 which seems to have more vulnerabilities every day?
Because Chrome, and all other web browsers, use a bunch of DLLs supplied by the host OS. If the host OS no longer updates those DLLs, then those DLLs contain known vulnerabilities.
