Dear all,
Cryptocurrencies can feel secure, because they decentralize and often anonymize digital transactions. They also validate everything on public, tamper-resistant blockchains. But those measures don't make cryptocurrencies any less susceptible to the types of simple, time-honored scams grifters have relied on in other venues.
So what would you do?

Please share your opinions!
Thanks.

This is how I protect my crypto-currencies.
Getting a cold wallet like Ledger nano and Trezor wallet will solve the issue but just in case you dont have them, you can store them in a paper wallet.
Secured your passwords and passphrase by putting them in offline and not connected to your pc.
Save all your files from your computer especially your wallet back-ups in a USB.
Use an anti-virus to protect you from phising sites and viruses that may harm your computer.
Protect your emaills and accounts in the Exchanges.
Do not put large sums or coins or your Bitcoins in an Exchange. If you're daily trading, just put the coins you use for daily trading. Then keep the coins for long-term investment in your offline wallet.

While almost all the advice that you give is very solid I disagree with the part in which you recommend using an antivirus, using an antivirus is better than nothing but why rely on an operative system that is so insecure that it needs an antivirus in the first place, when you can use a better system like Linux that allows you to keep your information safer?
