my pc so,somehow could not copy and paste.when i copied,i tried to use shortcut key but didn't work.but when i right click,the paste option didn't highlighted though.
i read at a discussion board it might be related to a virus(i can't recall its name).
then,i downloaded the specified antivirus from symantec website.
at the end of the day,it told that my pc was clean though.

i never encountered this problem before,it is somewhat confusing me.

please,anybody help...

Yes, some things legitimately don't allow you to copy and paste either/or with the shortcut menu or the ctrl-x/c/v options.

Let us know,

thnx for your advices guys.

ermmm...how to say...
eg. previously,if i copied any word from this browser and then pasted it into notepad,there was no problem and vice versa.but now,it won't work the same way anymore.
my friends also realized there's something wrong with it.

if i'm right,the virus maybe known as 'm.blast.exe' or sort of similar name.

but i'm not sure whether the virus got something to do with the copy/paste problem.
