I received the following e-mail which I know is Spam as it wants money to remove Porn it found. My wife and I are in our 80's and I would love to
make Porn. The issue is Cobalt Strike "Beacon". I looked this up and it does seem dangerous. I run Malwarebytes 4.5.16 and Microsoft Security.
Is this enough to keep Cobalt out of my Windows 7 Professional 64bit?
 
Your real problem here is that Windows 7 is no longer supported by Microsoft, and hasn't been since 14th January 2020, so any "exploits" for that OS are no longer being patched.

This leaves your machine vulnerable to attack irrespective of what Anti-Virus and/or Anti_Malware programs you have installed.

You really do need to look at updating to a supported Operating System if you wish to remain secure.
