I was wondering if it's possible to scan something before installing it to see if it contains spyware. I download free fonts, and I'd like to check just those files to see if they have spyware before installing. Any way to do this, or do I just take my chances and scan my computer after installing fonts?

A good way of telling is if it's freeware. If free it is suspect. Do a google search on the product name & check the results.
