I cannot copy any files or text anymore. Not using +c and not using rightclick -> copy. I tried rebooting my computer but the problem is still there.

Has anybody any suggestions?

I work at the student union at the royal institute of technology in sthlm, sweden.

I have now checked with several people in our building and everyone seem to experience several strange problems. For instance, noone can copy or paste anything, the loginprocedure for win2k is prolonged, certain links will not work in IE, windows installer wont let us install new programs and I bet there are more issues I have not encountered yet.
All computers are protected with McAfee Virus shield(recently updated).

Any help on this issue would be apreciated!
