And this is the third time I have gotten infected with the clipboard virus. I don't know why I always end up with the particular virus.
I made my first transaction about 10 years ago and I never had any problems with any viruses/malware, and the whole philosophy is to stop using pirated software and visiting websites that are known for distributing viruses/malware. In addition, do not accidentally click on links from unknown senders that you receive in your e-mail or via social networks.
Though I don't know how to properly define this thing as a virus or malware. I don't use any third-party antivirus, but my Windows Defender is always on. So I have no idea how I got infected. Windows defender seems to not be working regarding this virus. I guess, other antivirus programs won't work either. There is no way to fix this.

WD is something you get with Windows OS and should not be considered premium protection, so even though some will tell you that all AVs are equal (useless), that is simply not true. I don't want to advertise any such product, so I leave it to anyone who wants to know more and knows how to use search engines.
If you want to change something about the problem you are constantly running into, you have to change the way you use your computer and the internet, otherwise no antivirus or operating system will protect you.
