Hacked funds can't be reversed, what you need do is check what you did wrong then avoid it. On the other note, getting a hardware wallet is the best option to avoid further hacks.
As a lesson for what happened you should buy a hardware wallet (Ledger Nano S, Trezor etc) to be sure this will no longer happen in the future.
Keeping your private key on your Desktop is not a safe option at all.

It is really horrible news for all crypto users. Many people use MEW to store Eth and other ERC20 based tokens. People also use other crypto wallets to store their asset. The scammer's theft the asset in many ways. The hackers use viruses and they can hack your wallet any time. So download a safe wallet and secure your device with anti-virus.
very rarely, the wallet was hacked, I think you have provided something important from your private key so that your wallet is successfully penetrated by someone else. be careful downloading something on the internet, because they will take your private key.
if it's already in the hacker's wallet, it can't be restored, it's better to prevent this from happening in the future. I recommend using a wallet with very high security like myetherwallet apk version so no one can hack your wallet again
It is true that if your wallet is hacked it is certain that nothing can be done anymore, besides replacing it with a new wallet and starting to be more careful of the experiences that have occurred don't do it again. in fact the wallet has been made in such a way that it is very safe, usually if hacked it can be ascertained because of its own mistakes.make it a habit to use bookmarks and don't often open emails that have links if you are not sure that you know.
Once the hacker has control over your private keys sadly there's nothing can be done after that. If the amount you lost is substantial than all you can do is involve the authorities but I doubt they can be of any help as well because of the nature of cryptocurrency.
My friend has lost a lot of ETH because his wallet was hacked, I think there is no other way to stop it because hackers in crypto are very difficult to track, create new wallets and provide double security is the choice that should be made.Once the hacker has control over your private keys sadly there's nothing can be done after that.

what can I do to stop it
I have no evidence
the hacker's address is 0xEEBbC9888fD8Ec5dFC267a915664780c8fa66426
My address is 0xd125a58b966dc8bdf10489fd910ca929934a0dbc
It happened in Jun 6th
I guess I download a virus altcoin wallet and the hacker found my private key in my desktop

Sad to hear, never store private keys in an insecure place. Also provided hacker's address can be any exchange address unless you are 100% sure about it.
Let's really be careful when clicking on links, some links are specifically to hack into us.
There is nothing to be done again now that the hacker has your private key, all you should do now is to start over but be very careful now.

what can I do to stop it
There's nothing you can do once it has happened. But obviously there are steps you can take to prevent it happening again:
- Don't use that wallet again
- Run anti-virus checks on your computer to clear out any malicious software
- Run anti-virus checks on everything you download
- Store your private key somewhere else, not on the same computer
This is really traumatic, after earning or buying some coins, only for it to be hacked, I feel your pains, but the truth is nothing can be done, just move on but try to be safer so as not to fall victim again.
its very sad I also lost my MEW wallet we can not recover it,Sorry with your losses but learn from this experience and don't download anything suspicious and unknown wallets.
yes, this is the main issue I think companies have to work how to make the wallet system much stronger and secure so that people feel safe to store their funds.
since its stolen there's nothing we can do about it because its already stolen . Next time try to use metamask for more security and always erase cache before shutting down the pc to avoid phishing schemes
Nothing you can do to save your coin/token from that ethereum wallet. But to prevent that hacker to hacking your wallet for the next , you can start to scanning your computer / pc using antivirus. Some hacker using malware and another virus to collecting their target data.
If your error is due to downloading an application that you think is a virus, I think the antivirus on your computer should work (if any)
But according to it seems you have been wrong in giving your private key to a website or to someone

This is so sad, but there isn't anything you can do to stop it, the best option is to get a new wallet and store the private key safely.
Pls what wallet did you download so we don't fall victim.

you better make a new wallet and give away your old wallet. if there is still a chance, move the token or coin in the old wallet to the new wallet. you should use a hardware wallet such as nano ledger for example.
I can only advise you to hide the key away somewhere inside the folders that you will remember
I do it like this
on your desktop keeping your key is not safe
