Downloading software directly from the official vendor's website is considered a best practice because vendors typically distribute digitally signed, unaltered installers and are accountable for their software's integrity. Obtaining installers from unverified email links, pop-up advertisements, or peer-to-peer/file-sharing services increases the likelihood of trojanized or counterfeit software that could compromise your system.
