I don't think any windows wallet is secure due to trojans that can keylog. Even if you think you have a secure password, if you have a keylogger it is not secure.My suggestion is to get something like liberte linux on a thumbdrive and keep most of your btc there and keep only a little in your windows bitcoin wallet...kind of like leaving your big money in a safe at home and only a little in your wallet.

Does Bitcoin-qt work on liberte linux?  I don't think it does.

Each block is stacked on top of the previous one. Adding another block to the top makes all lower blocks more difficult to remove: there is more "weight" above each block. A transaction in a block 6 blocks deep (6 confirmations) will be very difficult to remove.

I like electrum.

Running windows will never be properly secure. While it is true that any OS can get a virus or a trojan the reality is the 99.9% of hostile computer infections are on windows machines.

At the very least be sure to encrypt your wallet with a password. Consider a virtual keyboard for entering this password as keylogging in windows is easy.
