The tips range from the obvious (only download from trusted sources) to the arcane (diving into packages to examine the installer components). The overall strategy is to examine the software carefully and look for tell-tell signs that it's not legitimate.

In any case, it should give you a good set of strategies to use when evaluating a questionable download.
