Firstly let me point out that the files that are altered are not system files at all. They are simply archives and as such it is safe to alter the content. This means that cookies set by websites are associated with the made up name i.e zinga@bravenet or whatever instead of the users true name. You can check by doing a search for 'cookies' and exploring the resultant files. As for spies not being able to read cookies I am sure the writers of trojans and other similar software have cookie reading cracked. Try SC-KeyLog PRO.
