If you had a malware checker that, for instance, could check a save file before you restored anything from it, you would have a somewhat better defense. If malware is detected, have the vendor explain what is does and why it is there. If you are not satisfied with the explanation don't install. If the vendor is as surprised as you are, don't install. Ideally, the vendor should explain beforehand, but this may be asking too much (and he may not even know).
