I wish the answer was that MS would secure Windows better. Sandboxing applications, and making it a pain in the ass to request high privilege functions. The current state of things is you just get a useless popup to grant admin access which literally every program requests so as a user you have no real tools to combat malware.

It's too hard for even someone who is highly knowledgeable to know if they have malware, let alone the average person.
