My hacker attacks, how to protect my account.
I lost more than $ 3500, please help me!

I give you simple solution for that:
- Get brand new USB Memory Stick 16GB or 32GB.
- Download and install on offline computer VeraCrypt
https://veracrypt.codeplex.com/releases
- Create new container 14GB (USB 16) or 30GB (USB 32) and choice "AES-Twofish-Serpent with SHA-512" save file on USB stick (copy backup to any offline PC)
- Create 5 wallets on www.myetherwallet.com on new PC with a different network than the one you got hacked (I guess is your home network) and save JSON files/Private Keys and Wallet address inside VeraCrypt container in a text file. Copy only wallet addresses to your home PC (email, USB stick) then close your container/Logout and write down password on paper for VeraCrypt (keep safe)
- Never log in to www.myetherwaller.com with Private Key and don't use JSON Files/Password if not need!
- NEVER use Private Keys (if someone has it can take your money without knowing your wallet address)
- Keep VeraCrypt container safe in 2 different locations offline

*** If you want to check the balance on MyEtherWaller use Ethereum explorer:
https://etherscan.io/
or EtherDelta Balances
https://deltabalances.github.io/

I have 6 wallets like that stored offline and encrypted with VeraCrypt. Never lost single Token.
