Today I stumbled upon a text symbol using stumble upon and the webpage told me to copy and paste it into a text editor so I did. Now, I can't copy anything and the only thing I can paste is...

...

...

This...

...

We're no strangers to love
You know the rules and so do I
A full commitment's what I'm thinking of
You wouldn't get this from any other guy
I just wanna tell you how I'm feeling
Gotta make you understand
Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you













I haven't tried to fix it yet as I am still in the process of basking in the hilarity of it. I'm interested in how to fix it but I am far more interested in what causes it. Any answers?:p

Can you copy/paste something new? Does a reboot fix it?

Sounds like malware/virus -- I think I heard clout or face mention a copy/paste malware that posts a link to bad pages. It could be the same but just harmless(er)

It's actually a small flash video that when you copy the small bit of text it puts that in your clipboard instead :)

Oh gosh!


McRoll is totally more epic.


but, as for your problem, you could try scan for virus/malware and removing it that way.
