There is no one thing that will keep you safe, besides locking the PC in a room connected only to a power cord. Even then, before too long, somebody will find a way to pass data down the power lines.
Think of protection in layers, rather like an onion, and the more layers that are employed, the greater the security. Simply because it makes it harder to find a way in. If you also use a VPN whenever you surf the net, it will be almost impossible to even know what country you are in, so there is a good place to start.
An example of layers of protection
Two out of the five layers fall to the individual to implement. Do not use the same password on multiple sites, if somebody finds one they will have them all. Do not open attachments or click links in email without first ensuring that they are legitimate. Finally, never give personal information, passwords or security codes in response to enquiries on the telephone or by email.
The other three are explained and available here on the website, If you are in anyway unsure about installing, running or commissioning any of the above, we are here to help.
