Checking that the software is being downloaded from the official vendor's website is correct because official websites are the most reliable source for genuine, malware-free software. This practice reduces the risk of downloading malicious or counterfeit applications that can compromise a system's security. Distractors like pop-up advertisements, email links, and file-sharing services are common channels for distributing malware. These are untrusted sources that can lead to security breaches and should be avoided.
