i think the best way is to store them on a hardware wallet or a cold storage paper wallet, at least thats what i do
Thanks to everyone who responded to me. At least became clear to me that I should forget about a computer with Windows.
Which one is the safest way to store bitcoins? I often hear that becomes thefts. I guess some of them are not heard even.
I'm used electrum for desktop. So far I haven't problem with their wallet. It's easy to use and have more security features. Also you don't need to download blockchain data, just sync it with your internet connection.

I got great tips, use the wallet on your pc from coin you wish to save. and after not use your PC, make it offline, and if you want to use the wallet again so make it online again. The point is not connected to the internet connection for long time. Thank you

The two safest options are either a paper wallet or an offline wallet. My bitcoins are currently stored on an old offline android phone which I wiped and installed Bither on, it's easy to transfer funds on and of to and you can only access the coins by having physical access and the password so it's pretty secure. Cold storage, f.e. Electrum Offline on X(L)ubuntu.. You have to make bootable pendrive ()ubuntu version installed via virtual machine, or other pendrive, than send installation files tu ()ubuntu and boot your computer from this pen without turning data connection on.
On your personal computer you can generate transaction and in offline linux you can signing it..
You may generate paperwallet in bitadress: https://github.com/pointbiz/bitaddress.org but turing it in offline system is a good practice, too
And paperwallet is less comfortable...

Just one more question. This procedure saves me completely from malicious software?

As far as I understood from what I read the paper wallet is created on your own computer. The existence of an antivirus program does not guarantee absence of malware. If the computer has a keylogger, coins can be stolen immediately. Can you specify in more detail the steps through which must pass before creating a paper wallet. Thanks in advance.

For me safest way is to store them on paper wallet. Put it in safe place and you have offline coins, only worrying about physical security of piece of paper.There are many ways tho, some use Trezor which is hardware device but its quite expensive to acquire.
