At this point, if you are still using Windows, you can't complain about being hacked.

  And what operating system you recommend that would protect you from the stupidity of the user? Linux? MacOS? Because both would equally fail to this just as well. Use an OS with Admin/root privileges and then complaining why you can pwn said computer is stupidity, isn't it?

    My personal choice is Linux but MacOS doesn't have anything near the amount of exploits and vulnerabilities that get released daily for Windows.

      Do tell me the exploits and vulnerabilities that got released daily for Windows (mind you, for the OS itself, not for a poorly configured system or user stupidity) in the past month. I am curious of those "daily" exploits and vulnerabilities.

    Malware is software. Just like any other software, it targets market share and ease of "use". So choosing a less popular OS (and, as an ecosystem, having lots of healthy competition) is a good strategy.
