Spyware

On the Windoze side (which I barely use), I just ran Ad Aware again and 
it removed 167 pieces of spyware crap from my system.  I think all of 
them were cookies.  As far as I know, Mozilla on the Linux side probably 
has just as many or more.  Since a lot of legitimate sites require 
cookies, I don't want to turn them all off or delete them en mass.

Is there any spyware detection/cleanup for Linux?
