    have used the "Browser mirror" on http://centralops.net/co/ to check what information my browser reveals when I surf. I was VERY surprised to see the content of my clipboard displayed. Since I often use the clipboard to cut and paste my passwords for sites when I browse this has worried me seriously.
    Is this really correct? and if so, what can I do to prevent it?

    Hello Per Bressendorff,

    The problem is the Java applet.

    First, read this article: http://www.windows-help.net/features/surf-safe.html For browser security and follow the settings.

    Make sure the Java Permissions is set to high and set "scripting of java applets" to disable or prompt.

    Regards - Charles
