Sounds more like you have an over-efficient spyware scanner. I reloaded the main page over and over again and didn't see any kind of "spyware" being pushed to my PC.

Most spyware scanners claim the cookies (like avenue.a) are spyware when in fact they are nothing more than a method to track which ad's you have, and have not seen yet.

I think it's pretty safe to say that FT does NOT send out spyware to your computer.
