I just saw another victim of clipboard hijacker malware.
How it works
1. You select a Bitcoin address, and press CTRL-C.
2. The malware changes the address to an address owned by the hacker/scammer.
3. You press CTRL-V and lose any funds you send.
Even if you check part of the pasted Bitcoin address, chances are the first few characters are the same, and you still won't notice the address was changed.

Wow i didn't know that a simple thing as Ctrl-C/Ctrl-V could potentialy make you loss so many. Thanks for the info though! even though i never experienced getting scammed or hacked that way and I'm using Windows 10 right now makes me keep vigilant.
