What?
I guess what you're trying to say is, "they can be stolen by malicious
programs, such as spyware".
But that is hardly an argument against keeping sensitive data on a
computer. If your computer holds sensitive data (and almost every
computer in the world does) you got to be careful not to allow malicious
code to execute on your system. In other words, the spyware is the
problem, not the data it steals.
