This can't be repeated often enough: do NOT use your daily computer for crypto wallet stuff, especially when you're using Windows!
Linux is better but if using Windows with a hot wallet for small fund, it's acceptable.
It is acceptable to use hot wallet on mobile devices too.

Bottom line is with biggest part of your capital, store it in safer OS like Linux and cold storage wallets, hardware wallets.

Recommended wallets.

Wallet Basics:

Do not use wallets that don't give you recovery data; these wallets are likely controlling your keys.
Do not use paper wallets unless you're an advanced user who understands all the risks.
Do not store large amounts of value in single signature wallets.
Make sure your heirs know how to recover your wallets without you!

Best wallets.
