i always double check my address when i have to sent the bitcoins to anyone. Most mistakes which people make while manually checking the address is that they check the first few letters and the last few letters of the address and ignore in between characters, which is wrong approach. We should check the whole address carefully before sending the amount.
This is similar to LoyceV's How to lose your Bitcoins with CTRL-C CTRL-V which can alter your clipboard when someone does copy/pasting their crypto address and replaces it with an address that belongs to the attacker
When I knew that this cyber attack was possible, I make sure that I double checked every character in my address before making any deposit and withdrawal in an exchange or wallet. I think this is the only solution for this problem as of now other than changing your OS and keeping your applications up to date.

In fact, you did not say anything specific. A much more important thing is how the virus enters your system.
