What?? Ummm... maybe this will help.... the cookies are accessed by the trojans... just as they can be accessed by the RB cgiscript.
As a matter of fact, while your browser is open, any cookie - not just the lycos cookies - can be used. In fact, I've written software that does exactly that - piggyback on a browser to tranfer and receive files. Its a lot like FTP, only you can get around firewalls.
A lot of trojans do exactly that - piggyback on Internet Explorer. When IE is active, so is the trojan.
