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. 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. So unfortunately, I had to reinstall Windows twice the same day to fully get rid of this virus. Such a hassle. Lucky for me, I didn't send out any funds since I remembered my original address. The moment I saw a change of address, I knew something was wrong. Here is the phishing address. The total received amount is almost $28k I wonder how many innocent people fell a victim to it.
It is called a clipboard malware not virus maybe that’s why windows defenders cannot protect keyboard malware attack because it has also affected me in the past.

I have to format my system and change my windows completely, and I was advices here to have two user interface so that I will have private sections for my online transactions and general user interface for my works.
Moreover, I was also advices to use Linux OS instead of windows that it’s better than windows.
