If you are still running Windows 7, you should discontinue use of Internet Explorer. I would recommend you install Firefox, and then add the uBlock Origin extension (an ad blocker). Firefox runs in a security sandbox, and the ad blocker will reduce the chances of even viewing malware in the first place. Running Windows 7 still won't be 100% safe, but this will be much, much better than running IE. Under no circumstances should you run IE on Win7 at this point.
