NS4.x was a great browser, but it just didn't handle java well. after
that netscape got too commercial and top heavy. now AoHell owns it. as
far as I'm concerned, it's dead. Mozilla, on the other hand.... that's
the good stuff.

I had heard the Mozilla brought more to your computer than you want,

Spybot found this after installing Mozilla for a look

I've never had spybot or adaware alert on mozilla.

avenue A and doubleclick are online spam factories. they aren't
associated with mozilla and believe me, they (and the hordes like
them) will stuff their crap down any browser they can reverse
engineer.

don't blame mozilla for that. what you can do is configure it to not
accept those cookies (with plenty of options) and better yet, you can
block images from their servers.
