Go to this web site. This is VERY scary if you have IE5!!! I changed my
settings ASAP.

http://www.sysopt.com/ie5flaw.html

Basically, the flaw in Internet Explorer 5 (that is configured by DEFAULT)
allows anyone to use a simple Java/ActiveX script to access and remove data
from your Windows Clipboard...withOUT your own permission or consent. More
information on how to change your settings to prevent this can be found at
the above web site address. I'd advise y'all to change your settings as
soon as possible.
