NO not choc. chip! LOL

I was looking through some cookies stored on my PC and noticed that some are in plain text with the username and password. Was wondering if CBID showed it in plain text. Being a PC guru and working in the Computer Security area this is just something that I noticed and was very surprised, and worried about. If your computer was compromised by one of the latest viruses, some are configured to mail files to another host. Cookies can be one of those files. If someone was to get the cookie and the info in plain text, they could logon as you and....well, let's just say you may be winning some things that you didn't bid on.

PLEASE NOTE: I am not saying that the CBID cookies are in plain text, just looking to find the cookie and verify.
