Say no third-party apps

Download the apps which are only available from Google Play Store. It is because you never know what kind of apps you are downloading from a third-party app store. The idea of getting premium apps for free might sound like a good idea, but you never know what you are trading for that free app. The apps downloaded from a third-party website might contain a virus, and therefore, it's better to say no to such apps.

Review the installed apps
