"Only hardware wallets are safe!"
How to stop this type of attack affecting you?
Simple, get a Nano S hardware wallet!
Only buy the Nano S directly from the manufacturer.

The Nano S is even safe against other attacks such as viruses, malware, and key-loggers.
You can even safely use the Nano S on infected computers.
What to do if you exposed your private key?
- Create a new ETH wallet.
- Use MyEtherWallet to move your funds & tokens to the new wallet.
How to move funds out of EtherDelta without opening the hacked website?
Safely check your balance on EtherDelta here: https://deltabalances.github.io/
Also note that you have to use the full decimal values on the token and ETH.
So 1 ETH becomes a value of 1e18 or 1000000000000000000

You are safe and the hackers do not have your private keys, so no need to panic.
