Be aware that there are evil programs that exist to interfere with a simple copy/paste function. Go ahead and copy the address where you are sending payments, but make sure to check, check, and re-check the address again. It is repetitive and no fun, but it could save your wallet's life. If you want to be extra safe, don't be afraid to send a micropayment before you send the full amount.    Store your wallet's private keys offline.

Experts warn of the risk of putting all of your money in the same place.     Keep an up to date antivirus software. Always keep your antivirus software in tip top shape.    Keeping your private holdings to yourself is key, and is an investment in yourself.
