Re: Malvertisement on MSNBC.com using clipboard (copy/paste)

And it looks like we're coming back to ActiveX too. And IE. IE being a "trusted" application, of course.

Why might one have "Clipboard access" enabled? Well, because MS tells you to do so.

quote:
ActiveX controls are used for certain functionality in Microsoft Office Project Professional 2007 and in Microsoft Office Project Web Access. In order for the ActiveX controls to work properly, the Office Project Web Access Web site must be added to the list of trusted sites in Internet Explorer. There are additional security settings that can be configured, but they are optional.

Perhaps this cannot even be disabled in IE6?

Disable Allow This Webpage to Access Your Clipboard Pop-Up Warning Message in IE7

Picture here of what the prompt would look like, »msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library···85).aspx

Appears you can disable this in IE6 too, »forums.spybot.info/archive/index···665.html.

That post includes a link to a site that retrieves your clipboard information, »www.sourcecodesworld.com/special···oard.asp.

Thanks for the information. Unfortunately, links from this site explaining the script code for cut, copy, paste, bring up "Content not found"
