•What damages can a malware cause to your wallet?

Malware may not likely damage your wallet. What malware will do is to steal your keys so that the hacker that steal it can use it to spend your coins. Malware may not steal your keys but able to make you send to a wrong address, like the clipboard malware. So malware will most likely compromised your wallet instead.

•What are the signs that your wallet being attacked by malwares?

There may be no sign until it is too late after your coins have been stolen. But there are sometimes that you may notice, like the clipboard malware in which the address you copy would not be the address your clipboard will paste. That is a sign of malware. But the most important thing is to avoid malware instead.

To clean your device from malware, format it completely and reinstall its OS.
