Am I such an edge case? I sure hope not because anybody who actually know what they are doing should also be doing this. This is like basic 101 stuff for computers.
Technically, Windows has almost nothing to do with viruses, because they enter through installed software connected to the internet and files opened by installed software.
To be clear here, a virus, when made correctly is undetectable, particularly on old, non-updated computers. It's possible you haven't, but even if you had it's also possible you simply wouldn't know.
More to the point, people assume a virus must get past their firewall, account passwords etc. But that's simply not the case.
A single exploit, just one, in your web browser that you use to browse websites can quickly lead to your computer being compromised.
Don't forget, every website you load uses javascript, this is code that is then executed on your computer by your web browser. (Think of it in the same way as running an application).
If a browser is out of date, that means that malicious code that runs within that browser can be used to exploit your computer. For example, with a known exploit, javascript could be used to download another program onto your computer silently, and then execute that program.
You should also remember, it's possible to hide a running application from task manager and other common utilities to manage processes on your computer when an exploit has been successful.
It is foolish to naively believe that your computer will remain eternally secure without any security patches or updates.
That's a false analogy. Its like saying you've never had a fire so a fire department or smoke detectors aren't needed. Just because its never happened to you doesn't mean that its not going to happen to others, and that the fire/issues aren't going to effect other people when it does happen.
Hence why they mitigate it. Of course its also for a lot more then security. If they don't require a modern OS then they can't build the client using any of the new functionality. I mean imagine if everyone had never stopped offering support for 56k modems and websites and software had to be designed around them......
They'd be limited by the weakest computers, used by the small minority. There comes a point at which simply the user share is so low, and the technology is so outdated that you simply have to stop letting it hold you back. By the time this occurs the users of windows 7/8 will be under 1% of Steam's users, just like when it occurred with 95,98, and XP.
You are an edge case. You know you are an edge case.
The OS has fundamental security issues that are no longer being addressed.
These vulnerabilities have been exposed since the last update and are now permanent. It is hardly a myth.
I have seen with my own eyes a home win7 box brought into a secure environment and begin spewing things on to the network that were detected. it was such an issue that a physical search of a 6,000 person campus was initiated.
Good malware doesnt let you know its there, just in case you didnt know that.
Good thing about nowadays browsers is the sandbox around it, preventing JS-breakouts.
But Windows-Updates don't really prevent this. They're more like preventing file attributes to use the Microsoft name, that kind of thing.
Those will eventually get known exploits, that will not be patched. This is also true of Edge, which will no longer get updates for Windows 7.
If the computer is offline, and not connected to the net, that's fine. But then this steam update won't affect you anyway.
I had made my websites before Google forced everyone into their monopoly, at least those still work cause they use the old languages. You can see warnings not to use old commands like the old <center> instead of <div style="text-align='center'"> anymore, cause they would be deleted soon, but it's still been safe for 20 years afterwards unlike the new commands which keep being removed.
For now, 10% browser users still use Windows 7, so let's hope there will always be a company for these.
I use noscript, if a website doesn't work with noscript I go through the list of blocked scripts and allow them individually.
Also, there are other search engines.
HTTPS is not a bad technology. Without HTTPS, all traffic is sent over a plain text connection, that means someone like me could quite easily read your username and password when you use a web form. That's bad.
HTTPS on the other hand, encrypts the traffic which makes it far more secure and prevents me from being able to plainly see your username and password without having to attempt to decrypt it first.
The change to HTTPS wasn't just pushed by Google, it was pushed by the security industry as a whole, simply because the benefits far out weigh the cons.
So long as the certificate is using at least 2048-bit RSA and TLS 1.2 or better for the most part it's secure. But you can always check to see just how good a websites SSL setup is with qualys.
Websites also have no excuse to not use an SSL certificate at this point, you can get them for free from Let's Encrypt, and have them automatically renew for free.
PS: I should mention, I hate Google with a passion and avoid them as best I can. My android device doesn't run stock android, but a "DeGoogled" one with no google services on it (so no play store for example)
Tho for this you'd need to be in already, either cutting the cable, hacking WLAN with a weak password if the PC is connected through that or acting as if your virus is the router of the house, tho the latter one is being detected by various included software nowadays.
A simple test on Windows:
tracert steamcommunity.com
(use cmd)
How many hops are there? Each one of those are able to read the traffic between you and the website you are accessing.
