I can't say it anymore, because just now I know something like that.
Maybe I'm more old-fashioned, because it stores everything about my cryptocurrency in Notepad.

And I think it is the safest thing to store my archive about cryptocurrency .

In the near future, the best way to prevent such attacks from happening is by using the AVAST antivirus, it is extremely helpful as it has helped my friends and I from such attacks. The internet is full of viruses that can invade your personal data so we need to be mindful of the kind of websites we visit and the files we download.

I knew nothing about this virus, but I suggest to take a good antivirus like Kaspersky -that will not guarantee you also bcz as I know the supports of Microsoft are unusefel, and I don't like them alot Undecided

. You can also use the Malwarebytes software, but not the free version:)
The only way that 100% secure is to be careful with online services.

The best way to avoid a copy/paste virus is not to download "risky" executables on the same machine you use to create transactions/store wallets. Also: keep away from risky websites. I mean, if you're browsing the web visiting illegal download sites, download pirated programs, download software from people you don't trust,... you shouldn't be supprised if your pc became infected sooner or later...

I prefer to run linux, don't use the root user unless absolutely necessary, only download binaries from my trusted repos, run clamav on all packages i download (even from trusted sources), make sure my firewall is properly configured and make sure i update my packages regularly.

So far, i haven't had a single virus on my machine (ever).

Thank you for the poster, Thank you sir very informative, after i read this post i started to look for Operating system that is secure and away from viruses and compatible with bitcoin. I want to add up also that Linux is free and The most popular Linux distributions are:

Ubuntu Linux

Linux Mint

Arch Linux

Deepin

Fedora

Debian

openSUSE
