I have also encrypted my wallet, but does that mean if my machine ever got hacked, i am 100% safe ?.. what to do for Maximum protection of my funds stored on my PC ?...

If your machine gets hacked and they get your wallet.dat file, they will need the password. But if you got infected with a trojan or keylogger, they may end up getting your password. In this case, they will have full control over your funds.

I would say: don't get infected (don't download and run random files, use a good anti-virus, etc...).

thank you that was quite informative !...

But is there is a way to have a permanent receive address or change it WHEN I WANT TO ?...

What if i give my receive address to someone to send me BTC then it changes, will i get my BTC or it will be lost ?!?...

And is it impossible to restore access to my wallet if i loose the the wallet.dat file ?.. from what i learned about BTC the funds are stored in the BTC network not actually on the machine, so is there is a way to get it back or no ?...

thanks again,
