However, cookies may be used for negative purposes. Because it stores information about users' preferences and browsing history, both on a particular site and on several other sites, cookies can be used as a form of Spyware. Many anti-spyware products are aware of this and constantly mark cookies to be deleted during anti-virus/anti-spyware deletion/scanning procedures.

Install and constantly update your antispyware applications.
Many of the spyware detection and prevention applications include site attack detection.
This prevents the browser from accessing websites that could exploit browser vulnerabilities or download malicious software.
How do I stop cookies?
Disabling and refusing to receive cookies may make certain sites impractical or difficult to visit and use.
It is possible to set in the browser so that these cookies are no longer accepted or the browser can be set to accept cookies from a specific site. But, for example, if a visitor is not registered using cookies, they will not be able to leave comments.
