    Yes... and no :) Your removing cookies, so the short answer is yes, as far as Ad-Aware is concerned, your removing spyware. As long as you practice safe surfing, and you apparently are, you dont get much besides cookies. Ad-Aware typically only find cookies on my machine as well, cookies I am aware of, so its pretty standard, especially if run regularly.

    I explained it here: http://www.majorgeeks.com/vb/showthread.php?t=25834
