Ok well when ever I use IE I don't get any spyware cookies because spybot blocks it passively. However when I used Firefox I get a lot. So what, if any, programs will passively help with firefox?

Otherwise known as "unjustified paranoia inducers". Spybot tends to be a bit melodramatic, marking simple advertising cookies as security risks on a par with spyware. If you're that paranoid about cookies, set Firefox to clear them after a session, or else block all cookies except for sites you want to accept them for.

These are not really threats. You can periodically delete them. Configure Firefox to reject cookies from third parties, but mostly because you shouldn't accept them, not because they are too evil. You can also configure Firefox to reject cookies from these sites and other sites you don't want cookies from, something you cannot do with shitty browsers *cough*IE*cough*.

Something like Tools+Options, Privacy, Cookies, Accept all cookies, From the originating site only.

Don't you use Password Manager and/or a text file with your passwords and/or the same password for all but the most personal sites? You really shouldn't depend on cookies, they were not made for this, and now you know why. Besides, some of them would eventually expire anyways.

A text file with your passwords in? How do I shot security.
