Solve : Can someone hack into your copy and paste??

Answer»

Hi

I found a letter on my copy and PASTE that I did not write and my husband said he did not write it.
My husband is telling me someone hacked into our computer and put on our copy and paste.
Is this even possible or total BS?
Thanks.
Quest
You're going to have to explain what your "copy paste" is.It's possible she's referring to the clipboard. I've never heard of such a thing as hacking to get into the clipboard.Hi,
Writing something in notepad or word and copying it into an email.
Can that be hacked into?While THEORETICALLY it is possible for a virus on your computer to put stuff in your clipboard (copy and paste), there is no reason why this would ever be done - People will only write viruses if there is some sort of gain to the creator, this is not the case with this.

I have also never heard of any virus that could cause this.Quote

As stated before, I seriously doubt that someone took the time to create malware in order to put something on your clipboard. Someone could have put this on the clipboard but they would have to have access to your computer either directly or remotely.Thanks EVERYONE for your answers.
