AFAIK, downloads from Adobe are digitally signed (the EN version of Reader 7.0.9 is). On Windows, don't know about other systems, the signature can be verified with right-click/ "Properties"/ Digital signatures" tab/ select the signature/ click "Details". If it's not there, or if it does not verify, then you can be reasonably sure the file is a fake. (The only reson I imagine for it not being a fake is if you have a very very old version of Windows that does not know about digital signatures, so you won't have that ab at all.) If it verifies, you can be reasonably sure the file is good, unless you have a rootkit on your system that manages to hide the modifications it did to the file.
