Be Careful with Ctrl + C

We do copy various data by ctrl+c for pasting elsewhere. This copied
data is stored in clipboard and is accessible from the net by a
combination of Javascripts and ASP.

Just try this:
1) Copy any text by ctrl+c
2) Click the Link:
http://www.friendlycanadian.com/applications/clipboard.htm
3) You will see the text you copied on the Screen which was
accessed by this web page.

Do not keep sensitive data (like passwords, creditcard numbers, PIN
etc.) in the clipboard while surfing the web. It is extremely easy to
extract the text stored in the clipboard to steal your sensitive
information.

Fortunately, the fix for this is also quite simple:

1. In Internet Explorer, go to Tools -> Internet Options -> Security

2. Click on Custom Level (preview image).

3. In the security settings, click to Disable the “Allow Paste Operations via script. That will keep your clipboard contents private

Enable Right Click on Websites that disabled it

Lots of web sites disable the right click function of the mouse button so that people should not steal their pictures or copy, paste their info... but right click can be enabled....

If u have IE6 or more...

Click "Tools"->"Internet Options"
Click the "Security" tab
Click "Custom Level"
Scroll down to the "Scripting" section
Set "Active Scripting" to "disable"
Click "OK" a couple of times & you are done...

You'll probably want to turn this back to "enable" when you have finished.
