Web sites you visit can retrieve data from your clipboard depending on
your security settings. Go to this page (www.clipboard.googlemyway.com)
and see if anything shows up in the box. If you are using Firefox or
Opera you probably won't see anything. However, if you are using
Internet Explorer then chances are that whatever you last copied into
your clipboard will be displayed.

box and You click something sending it to the server.
