Default Now ... u can protect ur clipboard theft in IE7.

The little known secret about Microsoft's Internet Explorer Web browser is a long-standing feature that lets Web sites silently read data stored in the Windows "clipboard"; the storage space that serves as a semi-temporary repository for any text the user has recently cut-and-pasted or copied in virtually any Windows program.

Apparently, Microsoft has finally changed that feature with IE 7. The newest version of the browser throws up a prompt asking users whether they really want to share the contents of their clipboard (should they stumble upon a site that tries to filch it).

click Clipboard Data Theft Optional In IE 7 for more

those of u still using IE6 can click How to Prevent Web Sites From Obtaining Access to the Contents of Your Windows Clipboard

KeepPass provides an option to clear the clipboard after a user-specified number of seconds, as well as the "enhanced mode" that "allows pasting only once and protects against clipboard spies."

more on clipboard privacy issue here http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms649037.aspx

those who want to know what all u disclosed about urself when u visit any website click http://www.thinkdigit.com/forum/show...light=disclose

ofcourse if u r using opera, firefox, etc i dont think u r affected...
