I believe that a normal anti virus software should protect your computer from any art of fishing attacks or dangerous files. But it is a must to protect your computer, especially in crypto currencies industry where you can catch a virus from telegram even without mentioning it.

Most of the anti virus are nothing,it just can't eve find and remove small virus so you don't have to trust them to save your computer.You need to learn how to stay away from phishing links and use good browser which itself restricts phishing attacks.

Anything can be hacked if a person is not careful enough. And nobody really know what a software do, appart from the creators. No, a computer can't be safe at 100%. But you can protect your computer in hope that the protections are well done and that there is no backdoor. With the internet, it is easier to get a virus on a computer. A smartphone is also not safe as they use softwares and have access to the internet.

One rule of the thumb if you are active in crypto community. Never download a windows based wallet for other altcoins. Majority of them has a trojan installed that silently watching your activities from your other window based wallet. Dont fall for this trap, or else you will find your wallet empty as the hacker will get your private keys.

we can safeguard our wallet so that it does not steal your people especially so many scam sites and scams ico so wallets can be affected or other hackers can hack them so be careful of your competition website or access to non-stolen funds especially to many altcoins with potentially huge value so they make sure their wallet is safe for many hackers who are cluttered and get information to use with others I have seen many who have robbed altcoins on their wallet because they are inaccurate so that hackers access their wallet.

For a better protection of you windows PC you have to follow some easy rules . 1) Always install all security windows and browser updates 2)Do not work under Administrator's profile 3)Never store/save your passwords in browsers / plugins , or somewhere in internet 4)Never install or open any files from untrusted sources , including emails . Adhering to these rules will be enough to provide sufficient protection for your computer, but if there is actually a large amount of money on your crypto wallet, then it makes sense to purchase a hardware wallet for uncompromising security of your funds.

We live in the 21st century and anyone hacker can very easily break your computer if it need be. It does not matter what computer protection systems you use as it is a problem in the case of remote access. A hacker can find out all your passwords and quickly withdraw all funds from your wallets. The best means of protection is a completely cleaned computer from various programs and without access to the Internet. You can keep your cryptocurrency on it and then it will be safe.

I'm always too reluctant to download unknown wallet even those offering beta wallets for the fear of viruses. I don't know much about desktop functions and programs so I choose using mobiles for doing online activities. But I always wanted to try mining on desktops just like what others do.

I am agree, if we want to protect our coin and token, we should store it to cold wallet or hardwallet. Its more secure because not connected with internet. In this era, we should protect our computer by not clicking suspicious link on our email

But even google has lot of pop up ads which ma redirect into some shady websites as well so its is not alone going to help us,and more over it is not possible to avoid those links as well.

Of course, when working with cryptocurrency, the security of my computer is the most important thing.And perhaps this is the first thing you need to think about, otherwise everything that is accumulated and earned can become the prey of hackers.If we talk about a large amount of money,it is best to buy a hardware wallet.It is also best to have a separate computer to work only with the crypt,which will be password protected and have a good anti-virus complex.But still there is no 100% guarantee of safety,the risks remain.

I myself only use antivirus avast to protect my computer, there are no other programs, my advice is that we better download programs that are clear and from well-known webs so that we avoid dangerous viruses
Yes, you can take good steps to keep your computer free/secure from viruses and possible hack by making sure you use the best software which might be a bit expensive but would be great in keeping you secure for long term. Plus, do not download content from insecure websites because at times, you might be hit by a malware and this can damage your data very much so yeah, it is important to keep your computer secure.

I do not recommend anyone to download any wallets. I use the most popular wallets that are in demand with a large number of cryptocurrency community. I don’t want to download new wallets until they pass all the checks and will not be used by many people

Computers can be affected by worms, virus, malware, etc. It's best to use a good anti virus to ensure your computer is not vulnerable. One also needs to be careful of the links you click and website you visit. Malware could be installed into computers without the owners notice.

We all have a responsibility to ensure that our computer is free from viruses and other malware. Hackers infiltration is due to malware which have been installed on the victims computer without his permission or notice. We need to be careful of the emails we access and the links we respond to.

The first layer of course avoid as much unknown softwares installation, like plugins or web extensions, these are the greatest threat that could somehow log data on your browser, otherwise connection issues could be quite unlikely if you are browsing safely on your home WiFi.... Some unusual case like my fren got hacked on an too easy passphrase (combination of words) which are not generated. Hardware wallets are good but not convenient for frequent traders
