Did you know that a website can easily snatch the info on your clipboard with about one line of _Javascript? Yes, it's true. Not all browsers are susceptible to this, but Internet Explorer is, which would also include Crazybrowser and Avantbrowser.
Copy any line of this message and head to this page:
http://www.worldstart.com/clipboardtest/ and click the test now
If it showed up on that page, then you're probably feeling a little anxious right about now. Just imagine if that info had been a password, credit card number, or bank account info! It could have just as easily been put into a database as shown to you. While you are on that page you will see step by step instructions on how to fix your security settings to avoid this happening to you.
FireFox did not show clipboard content.

Good news - no text was found on your clipboard. You can skip the info below - but still be careful out there!

I copied some text of your post and went there. After receiving the above results, I opened a text editor and pasted the contents of my clipboard. Yep still, there.
Maybe it's because I have XP SP2 and have regularly kept up with the Windows updates?
