Step 1. Upgrade to proactive security. Projects like HotCakeX' offer a streamlined method of attaining it.
Step 2. Commit to best practices. There's a long list of this, but the short of it would be:
- Uphold a strong backbone of secure software that has proven to be committed to safe practices.
- Ensure that your system and/or software is always up-to-date.
- Don't visit unsafe/untrusted websites. Don't click on shady/untrusted links.
- Don't execute untrusted/unsafe files. Especially not with administrator's rights.
- Sandbox all activities. So that even if you're compromised, that the adversary can only access very little beyond the binary/program/software itself.

[–] atomicStan@programming.dev 3 points 17 hours ago

Many different solutions exist, even native ones. But I'd have to mention Sandboxie as probably the most popular option.
