I'm new into crypto currency and was wondering which wallet I should use in terms of security.

I prefer desktop wallet then online, but make sure you have some anti-virus and scan if it has trojan...

Anti Virus does not guarantee that you do not get infected by trojan or other virus. There are plenty of fully undetectable viruses which means they cannot be detected. The best method is to verify and build the wallet yourself from source, I wouldn't download the wallet if its not open sourced.

Hmm, this one caught my attention as I am using just free anti-virus and this would mean I only have limited protection. Now, would this require some programming knowledge? OMG, I hate being a noob but not even sure what open source is.

Open sourced means they allow you to view all the code and ensure that they don't include viruses or wallet stealer. If you don't install anything suspicious, you are fine. It is recommended to change your OS to ubuntu or any other Linux OS. Linux have less known viruses than Windows.

sounds good to me, but as you may know, windows is more accessible (at least, from where I am). Anyways, thanks for the great input.
