You really shouldn't have a problem with spyware if you're using Mandrake...
As for those other things, a lot of web browsers give you easy ways of clearing cache, deleting/blocking cookies, and deleting history.
Kinda figured that but wanted to be sure.

I'm using Firefox and it will remove web caching and things like that. I was also looking for a easy way to remove temp files etc, but this is a minor point. Thanks.
