How to protect your cookies from being stolen using an IP address?

Question

Information Security

I recently came across www.youtube.com/watch?v=xOcCLXuAKM8 on Youtube with instructions on how to hijack a cookie via an IP address using a program of some kind. I didn't go into the details of this program and how it works. But from the point of view of a potential victim of hacking, I would like to ask a question. Is this method of stealing cookies real at all or is it just some kind of school hacker? And if so, how can you protect your PC and your data from this kind of hacking? Will a regular antivirus with "internet security" modules save us from such cases?
