Mozilla and Konqueror both have features to allow you to allow
or deny cookies based on the hostname, and that can remember
which sites are 'okay' and which ones are not allowed
to set cookies. I'd turn that on.
Other than that, just don't install programs
from untrusted places...
I find spyware on GNU/Linux boxes to be very unlikely in the near
future... maybe in a few years we'll catch up to Windows in that
respect. <grin>.
It's like viruses. Sure, it is possible, but just not that common,
at least not yet.
