Windows 8.1 Update - SECURITY THREAT

$

Last week's update trashed my internet explorer. After two hours of trying to fix it, I installed Google Chrome. I can now work on the web again and it only cost me two hours. 

This week's update changed my computer login, now requiring me to log in to my personal computer with my Microsoft account credentials. That means that anyone that hacks into Microsoft, also has access to my computer, which would also give them access to everything else I do, business or personal. Chase was recently hacked. I changed my Chase user names and passwords. If Microsoft is hacked, I would need to change every online presence that I have to stay secure.

One of two things needs to happen. I need to figure out how to use my own, private password on my own, private computer... or, I need to find an alternative to Microsoft Windows. This is intolerable.

I would welcome advice for either solution.
