some of them can infect from "fake" program. I watch on youtube about program who give hacker access to his computer because downloading "Anti Virus" from fake website (not from their official site) and some of them come from malicious site.

How to avoid it, maybe using bitdefender. Bitdefender can instantly scan some link and site without click on it (based on my experience). So it will safe. The price is a little bit high for some people but atleast you got secure.

I would like to suggest

Encrypted vpn. Use one everytime you log in.
Use an anit virus. I use eset as it is Australian.
NEVER store cxryptos on a computer or exchange. Always in cold storage.
Never keep private keys online.
Use encrypted email servers. Even if you have  to pay for them. Countermail has a usb service. Recommended.
Be familiar with pgp.
Use long and complex passwords.
Use a password keeper. Encrypted with 2fa.

Peter

I find Linux not so user-friendly. But can be learned and can be used to in the long run. And you are right Windows users are most targeted by hackers that is why many of the malware and viruses are written for Windows. I am preferring Linux for my next OS install this is if I became really annoyed with Windows (Windows 10 to be exact). Updates are really heavy and so annoying, especially if you have a capped bandwidth.

Use your computer only for crypto currancy.
No surfing, no games, no progs.

You should add these:
How they infect your PC?
1. Binded virus - They can bind virus to any .exe files or java files (like binding a rat to minecraft hack something like that)
2. Keyloggers - monitor your keystrokes, steal your save password
3. Macro exploit for docs/pdf/exel

How to avoid them?
1. If you are going to download something from the internet i highly suggest to scan them first here: https://virustotal.com/
2. Updating your anti virus

Heres a useful youtube vid to know if your computer is being hacked: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D4GQgDssRWY
