You should know in windows 10 default installed, they on it clipboard history, to know that you have to try ctrl+v, then you will know what going to happen. If it is on then you have to clear the clipboard data under the button.

you know, scammers will easy to find in what you have copied like private keys and passwords on the clipboard history on your PC when default on.

Clipboard history has nothing to do with clipboard viruses. When I came across the clipboard virus thread, I tested things with my old PC, and I noticed that my system was also a victim. My clipboard history is always off, and nothing is being copied from there to the hackers. If your system is infected by this virus and you try to copy your address, the virus will automatically change it to that of the hacker's without your knowledge, and if you are not careful enough to cross-check your address before sending your transaction, you will end up sending your funds to the hacker's address without even knowing. To my knowledge, the best way to avoid this type of virus is to always purchase software from direct and licensed sources. All of this third-party software is always open, or should I say it comes with various radom viruses?
