Best bet is to use a clean machine with a wired keyboard.  (Wireless/Bluetooth keyboards have a greater attack surface.)  A simple trick is to not enter your password completely sequentially, but instead to enter some of it, then reposition your cursor using the mouse, and then type the rest of it.  This will likely thwart attacks not targeted specifically at you, at least as long as this technique isn't widely used.

yeah i agree, now a days you have to be so vigilant about what site you visit or what program you donwload or who you let on your pc to help. there are thieves every where looking to make a quick buck at the expense of others. Just recently i saw a guy get robbed of 14K VIVO coins worth approximately 70K dollars. Simply dont trust no body or anything on the net.

Every time you connect to the internet (using mobile, windows, Linux, Mac, toaster, etc) consider yourself compromised. Never trust nobody and nothing.
You can minimize risks of being hacked, but no one can say for sure they have a 100% safe system.
Try multiple levels of controlling your keys

Im gonna buy a ledger but i still want to.spread the risk among some other wallets. Problem is most now apart frrom core uses a 12 word passphrase. Problem is John Mcafee says millions of phones and computers have keyloggers so they can take photo.and send your passphrase quite easily.

Is this a serious risk?

How to use a wallet that solves this?
Everything has risk and most people do really afraid of that keyloggers which they can easy stole up valuable information's which are related on your wallet or even on important emails but somehow this thing can be avoided if you do know how to set up things which would make you secure somehow into these threats.In terms on PC its really always recommended to have an Anti-virus so that pc would be clean on any malware or virus and you should always be prompt on downloading things on internet.
