Bought a used phone, security check?

I purchased a used galaxy note. But before I log into any of my accounts I want to make sure the phone is secure.

Is there a way I can make sure there are no kinds of spyware installed on it and if so remove them? Im really new to

all this stuff.

Thanks in advanced
