if i prefer wallet desktop pc. because I think smartphones are vulnerable to viruses, and storing mobile wallets on smartphones is quite risky.

you can try coinbase

But i think when it comes to viruses, desktop pc is one of the most risky, because of the viruses they can destroy what that system is and can also be easily to hacked by the hacker out there. Anyways, when i was a beginner my first wallet is Blockchain, but now i use CoinPh wallet here in my country because its easy to use and you can cash out your money through bank even you don't have one.

Many people are using mobile wallet because it is convenient. They can use bitcoin in anywhere that they like. However, I believe that bitcoin desktop wallet is suitable for me because im currently working with bitcoin and the blockchain. Using desktop wallet gives me chances to interact more with the blockchain and by that, I can learn new thing

Which is the most used? Any ideas? Desktop and Mobile.
I think mobile is better because it can be used whenever i want to use it. But everyone is certainly different that they think the desktop is better on mobile appeal. Yes of course, although mobile is still vulnerable to hackers who really want to hack your mobile phone. If on the desktop may be more difficult if your pc is indeed safe.

I prefer both mobile in desktop and mobile since my wallet can access on it but I do not save it on desktop and mostly in mobile because I can used and easily access it wherever I go. Devices that connected in the internet are vulnerable on hackers that is why we have to keep it secure all the time and avoid accessing unknown websites that is prone to viruses.

Bitcoin wallet is like a bank account, you can get Bitcoin, store them and then send them to others.
There are two main types of wallets:
A wallet that you can install on a personal computer or mobile device. You have complete control over your Bitcoin, but sometimes it's difficult to install and maintain.
A web wallet is a third party purse. It's easy to use but you have absolutely no trust in the provider to maintain your Bitcoin security.

From my personal view, each and every user who has been into bitcoin usage have got a blockchain wallet. By the first time they make use of it and further they learn about the different wallets depending on their needs as well for the security reasons. With this online blockchain wallets were the one that has got increased usage.

Most of the people today are using ledger because it was a very good wallet that cost a few bucks and it did not get any negative reviews so i also use this wallet for a year.

maybe he can use bitcoin-qt and wallet from the exchanges to save your bitcoin or maybe he can use android phone to keep his bitcoin and I think every wallet is good to save bitcoin. personally, I use mycelium, bitcoin-qt, jaxx, and wallet from exchange and so far, I don't have any problem with those wallet. I hope that he can choose the wallet that is works good for him so he don't have to be worry about anything.

For me the best wallet I've ever used is coins.ph because this wallet is very trusted and legit. This wallet also is the one that is suitable in our country, so if you are from Philippines coins.ph is the best among others wallet.

I am using mobile wallet. Because I usually go bitcoin thru my mobile phone, since I started bitcoin, I do use mobile phone until now. I prefer this because its more convenient for me cause I always bring my phone with me.
Every people has its own way of feeling comfortable and based on you, you are comfortable to put your bitcoin in your mobile wallet because you always bring your phone with you but you need to remember to always have a back up so you can be safe for the possible worst case scenarios and also learn to diversify your funds into different wallets so you cannot lose all of your bitcoin if something goes  wrong with your main wallet.

The most important thing to check before you download wallet is to make sure that it is an open source wallet( the code for the wallet is well known and is public, has been checking and verified).
If the wallet is open source and is well known, you can be sure that it will be safe.
The 2nd thing to check would be if the wallet supports segwit addresses(so you won't need to pay high fees), and the 3rd thing to check is if the UI design is comfort, some designs wouldn't make it possible for the average person to use.

I suggest u to use BITCOIN WALLET,  Have your Bitcoins always with you, in your pocket! You pay by quickly scanning a QR-code. As a merchant, you receive payments reliably and instantly. Bitcoin Wallet is the first mobile Bitcoin app, and arguably also the most secure!

No registration, web service or cloud needed! This wallet is de-centralized and peer to peer.
Display of Bitcoin amount in BTC, mBTC and µBTC.
Conversion to and from national currencies.
Sending and receiving of Bitcoin via NFC, QR-codes or Bitcoin URLs.
Address book for regularly used Bitcoin addresses.
When you’re offline, you can still pay via Bluetooth.
System notification for received coins.

The best wallet will depend on your intended use. If you have a lot of Bitcoin, your wallet with your personal information is always the safest method. But online travel is better because you are constantly traveling for entertainment or work.

Which is the most used? Any ideas? Desktop and Mobile.

The most used wallet is desktop and web wallet but this is just my guess since there is no statistics on how many people and the percentage of people that are using these wallets. But it's popular that people are using the same desktop wallet like electrum, bitcoin core and for the web wallet, the most popular one is blockchain.info and some others are choosing to use hardware wallets for storing their bitcoins.

are those wallets are safe from any kind of viruses? because i heard that some wallets has a virus...what about ether wallet? what kind of wallet is that?
Wallets are secure and there will be no major attack of viruses because security algorithms are designed clearly for the user reliability because people are putting their whole saving in it so organization is keen to provide them unbreakable security and yes ether wallets are also good and also secure and riskless to invest and there will be no hacker from deep web who can break them.

Currently blockchain and coinbase is still a trusted wallet, no need to worry because they always do system maintenance with a more complicated level of security when compared with purses that use private key, do not need to worry too much with the web-wallet because the developers always give the best to the user .

since we are talking here about wallets, is there any application here for those mobile wallet and desktop? where can we find any links to download those wallet? any ideas please?
There are a lot of the wallets in the bitcoin and the n time to time the bitcoin wallets are being a part of the bitcoin, new features are being into the bitcoin, it is safe to use the bitcoin and buy more bitcoin for the sake of eh money. In the past the bitcoin was not so much easy and the bitcoin was not very common as the digital currency so now for me the all thing is the bitcoin and the income of the bitcoin is solving my problems.

Every hardware is at risk of different viruses and malware as it always depend to the users. Electrum and bitcoin core are solid wallets where you can have no doubts of their security but the thing here is you need to take a look at yourself on how you'll make your wallet safe. Our desktops and laptop's are prone to any virus and harmful software if we will not use it properly. Ether wallet is good for alt coins and it's different from bitcoin wallet.
