Keeping Security in Mind, I have listed some of the steps below which will help you to give a strong competition to Cyber Criminals.

I know it might sound odd if you are a shellfish person like me in terms of money. Spending around $100 for a software which is already available for free download on the internet might give you pain in the ass. But Genuine is Genuine, pirated copies cannot compete with those. Genuine's are more faster and secured

3. Keep other Software's Up-to-Date
What if you have bought genuine windows and Update it regularly, hackers might use the loopholes on other software. Ex. If you have a old version of Chrome Browser which is venerable to a attack, then hacker might exploit the venerability even you have a Updated OS. Hence, keep your every software Up-To-Date.
4. Use a Anti-Virus Software
There are many companies who have good anti-virus software's at cheap plans. Anti-Viruses are very essential to protect yourself from viruses which can Corrupt files, take up space or even bring your system down.
