Hello,
I was wondering if web temporary files and cookies of web sites can spy on what other websites you look at, maybe even your login to emails and banking info. I also would like to people can spy on your computer when you download pictures or from your internet history files

cheers

Actually, viruses, trojans, and spyware lurk in your temporary folder. Cookies ain't really a threat.

Try to clear your temp internet files frequently, if not after every time you surf.

In Tools -> Options, in the privacy tab, I have it set to never save any cookies, history, or files, and have anything deleted when I exit.
