Be careful when you Install new programmes to your device. Have you ever installed a new app and it says “allow us to make changes to your device”. Don’t just blindly click, to get rid of the message.
Why it’s risky
Installers often bundle hidden extras like adware or spyware in pre-checked boxes; rushing through skips your chance to uncheck them.
Unvetted software expands your attack surface, potentially stealing data, slowing your PC, or opening backdoors for hackers.
Safer habits
Download only from official sites or trusted stores (Microsoft Store, official developer pages).
Choose “Custom/Advanced” install to review and decline extras.
Scan files with antivirus or VirusTotal first, and read EULAs quickly for red flags.
