I would suggest anyone who is dealing with Biitcoin to buy good old cheap laptop (Thinkpad would be a good choice) and install Linux operating system.
Use this computer only for crypto and other important stuff, that will be separate from gaming and regular everyday browsing.
This way you are drastically reducing the risk of infecting your system with this and any other malware.
