In Security settings tick the box that allows installation from unknown sources.

Be careful if you are downloading from sources other than well known App stores (Google, Amazon) because a lot of these contain malware. Sites offering paid apps for free are usually full of the stuff.

Thanks for your reply. I have no option in the phone or in that message. I use Sony Xperia X10a. Android Ver. 2.1
