And always update your software to the latest version as well as using a hardware wallet to store large amounts of funds.
Software updates can also cause various complications, and I wouldn't recommend it as a "must". I have often seen that a new patch update came out immediately after the last update because a bug crept in. Plus, insisting on a new update can lead to phishing mistakes.

Depends on what the software is and how it is updated.

A few dinosaur and legacy software or very complicated programs use a very involved updating process internally, that is very brittle and breaks easily (like Windows). Then you have package managers like brew, apt, dnf, pip, npm, helm and so on that are actually well-designed and should not break your configuration most of the time. YMMV.

•What damages can a malware cause to your wallet?
•What are the signs that your wallet being attacked by malwares?
•How can it be prevented?
I think you're going at this all wrong. When it comes to malware, you should always assume the worst. Assume it's going to steal everything, and destroy all data on your computer. Once you've accepted that there is no safe online wallet, you can decide how to store your Bitcoins. So keep only small amounts on hot wallets for daily spending, and keep the majority of your coins safely offline.

hmm this nice I. Know that hot wallet are easy to be target for hackers, keeping little asset there would actually be a smart move. So when it's comes to offline wallet which can you recommend for Me that would be more user-friendly. And easy to access.

If you store a small amount of your coins in a hot wallet, then that is surely not a problem, a hot wallet should be for storing coins that you probably want to spend on the go, maybe anything < or = $100.

For offline wallets, you can buy a hardware wallet, it is user-friendly for newbies and they can be able to use it in a safe enviroment. Passport and Trezor are examples of recommended hardware wallets. You could also set up an Electrum wallet on a completely airgapped device that will never be connected to the internet, however this is more difficult for newbies to create and use in a safe enviroment.

Try not to use your "daily internet shit" computer for your crypto wallet stuff. Try to use a dedicated Linux machine for interaction with your crypto wallet. As mentioned earlier a hot software wallet should probably only contain as much coins as you'd normaly carry with you in your pocket or briefcase.

If you can afford a decent hardware wallet (not speaking of Ledger crap here), I'd always prefer it over solely software wallets. Always thoroughly check all transaction details before you sign a transaction. A hardware wallet needs a dedicated display for this which is only under control of the hardware wallet itself. The purpose of such a display is to allow verification if the hardware wallet received proper transaction details from the computer where your software wallet component resides.

Never store or enter your mnemonic recovery words on an online device or website. Period!
