I was born in crypto world without the knowledge of its works and how does it benefit its users. But what affects me most is my is security and protection when it comes to hackers and scammers. I know that it is necessary to face some situations like this but how can I prevent the danger of the two? Should I take risk or not?

Theres several things you can do to lower your risk levels... here's a few that I've thought of.
Make all exchanges 2FA activitated (two factor authentication)
Make exchange emails different than your main account you use on crypto related stuff such as forums.
Use 2FA for emails (yubikey is probably best here if your email supports it)
Have all of your passwords unique, no repeating of passwords or following patterns
Use cold storage when possible (Trezor or Nano Ledger)
Don't store private keys json files or anything related to anythiing wallets anywhere on your PC (print and keep as paper wallets only)
Use linux if possible, less people attack linux over windows, should be safer

It's simple then mate :paper wallet and install a softaware wallet on a pc you never connect to internet ...

If you want to be safe from coin hackers, you must have high security and discipline. An example of a wallet that I can provide is the Ledger Nano S. Ledger Nano S is one of the most popular Wallet Hardware on the market. This type of Bitcoin wallet also supports Litecoin, Ethereum, Ripple, Dash, Dogecoin, Neo, and Zcash crypto currencies.

Don't provide any information of your account to anyone else but yourself. Avoid clicking a link that you don't know to prevent getting phishing site and always bookmark the sites you always visitm

As a new here,we should always keep our accoun safe from hackers.We should have to create a unique password.

Don't join Random Airdrops. Sometime they use copyboard virus and take all the thing you copy. Private Key of MEW always copied so they get your Private key. You can use a idea like save your private key without last 2 digit and remember the last 2 digits. You will be same from MEW hacking this way. Use 2FA activation (two factor authentication) , don't use same password in all wallet , don't use public wifi , use phone number to 2 step log in on your email and other account.

Maybe you should try some of the following ways:
1. Update the security/ anti-virus/malware system on the device you are using.
2. Hide your e-mail settings for the public.
3. Combine passwords with numbers, characters, and characters.
4. Do not save your passwords or important data related to your account on the device. Record and save your password on hardcopy or paper.

If I were you I won't suggest about antivirus. If you really want a secure try metamask.

In my opinion, if you really want your coin to be safe from hackers. You are advised to have high security and discipline in keeping your Coins. For example like a wallet that I can suggest and might suit you, Ie Ledger Nano S. The Nano S Ledger is one of the most popular and safest wallet hardware and is very favored by users and on the market. This type of Bitcoin wallet also supports litecoin, Ethereum, Ripple, Neo, and others.
