I'm using different virtual wallet but I find electrum the best wallet for me due to its simplicity. To ensure that your wallet will not be hack, avoid downloading applications from unknown sources,or might as well don't download at all. Depending on how important the bitcoin in your wallet, but it's suggested that you have a dedicated PC for your stuff, since it's online, you might forget that were able click a phishing link or anything that could steal your password, or could monitor your PC, avoid that as much as possible.

Download wallets, applications from official sources is good but not enough to be safe.

Verify PGP signatures of developers to make sure the downloaded wallets, applications are not fake ones. For examples with Bitcoin Core and Electrum wallets, they have guides for users.

Verify your download

Download verification is optional but highly recommended. Performing the verification steps here ensures that you have not downloaded an unexpected or tampered version of Bitcoin, which may result in loss of funds.
