If you're looking for a piece of software, find out who makes it first and then go to its site to get it.
For smaller free/shareware programs, try using big sites rather than just getting them from anywhere that shows up. If you're using torrents, avoid .exe files wherever possible, and if you must tempt fate, make sure they're thoroughly scanned first.
