I just got a tip from my sister. This is wild and if you deal with sensitive text and use the clipboard you should look at this. Copy what I have written so far and the head to the following site. I thought I wouldn't be vulnerable, but I was wrong. They give the fix at the site.

Is this vulnerable just using IE?

Hewee, not all browsers are susceptible to this but Internet Explorer is.

Well do not use IE but for updates and then only if I really have to at some sites.

Use Internet Explorer Privacy & Security Settings from here too.

It is already listed to disable that.

I never do all of that. I just use active x blockers, adwatch, and ZAP. I haven't been smacked in so long I am thinking the malware writers gave up.

I don't even get tracking cookies. I dump all but allowed cookies everytime I close my IE.

Well I got ZAP, WinPatrol etc too and all the setting on HIGH. If I was using IE all the time then I would changed some of the setting so I would not get a pop-up asking if I want to do this or that all the time. But for me to get a pop-up is no big thing because I don't use IE much.
