Let me guess, you are running Windows.  Undecided

Never use Windows to store your wallets.
This is bullshit. Using windows, never had any wallets stolen. Stupid people will install malicious software no matter which os they use. From what I see most of bitcoin stealing stuff comes with bitcoin related software, a different os will not protect you from that.

Majority of the people who got their wallet stolen uses Windows. That is a fact.
Are mac users like myself less likely to have this issue?Or should I just be vigilant as everyone else needs to be?What solutions exist for an offline wallet?As I'm looking into one due to recent unusual access attempts to my online wallet (it's safe as I have 2 factor login).My coins are still safe/there it's just more important now to get them moved to an offline wallet though.
