you can upload the file here before installing it:

http://www.virustotal.com/
http://virusscan.jotti.org/

or check the file name against these two databases:
http://www.spywareguide.com/
http://research.sunbelt-software.com/

visit the link to the manufacturers website, poke around, read the FAQ/privacy policy, watch out for any third party add-ons that might be mentioned, finally read the EULA agreement during the install for any third party add-ons that should be spelled out.
there are plenty alternatives to any app that might have ad/spyware.
