So even with the latest hit on bitcointalk.org wallet stealing incident "bill cosby", my defense+ would have not stopped my wallet getting taken?

Win7 64bit.

There were no wallets stolen or anything bad. The jokers used a flaw in an old version of the bulletin board software to put a javascript on the site that displayed a bunch of cosby animations and graphics, nothing else.

According to NIST and ECRYPT II, the cryptographic algorithms used in Bitcoin are expected to be strong until at least 2030. (After that, it will not be too difficult to transition to different algorithms.)

I read a few threads, people stated had their wallet was stolen when this event happened. I could be wrong.
