Is it really necessary to keep Windows 7 updated?

http://ift.tt/1iZHv9S

When we buy a new PC, we automatically get the ‘Security updates’ setting on, but is keeping Windows 7 worth? I have been advised by the computer shop-owner that updates do nothing more than just slowing down your PC. I don’t think that I would get hacked, when I have a paid and genuine Quick Heal subscription.

Please tell me that I should keep the PC updated or it is not necessary?

What email client will work on both a Windows Vista laptop and a Win8 tablet?

http://ift.tt/1iZHv9S

I want to have a free desktop email that will work on my Windows Vista laptop and my Windows 8 tablet. I read your article about the best desktop clients and 1 that was listed EClient I downloaded it but the free version only allows you to use on one machine and won’t synch. What I want is to be able to have all my webmail & POP3 mail accounts together on a desktop email and either work on my email from either my laptop computer when I am home or my tablet that I carry in my purse. Any suggestions? Plus now that I have the EClient how do I save the emails I need and then get rid of it because the free version can only be used on 1 machine and it is quite costly for the paid version that you can use on multiple machines. Thank you
