Answer 1

There's a recent virus/trojan out that hijacks the copy/paste buffer of web browsers, which sounds like what you've got. I don't recall its name, or which tools are necessary for fixing it, but perhaps this info will be enough to allow you to Google a solution.

Answer 2

could be a virus. try restarting the computer first. then if that doesn't work, run a regular window's system check and a virus scan from your anti-virus company. see what that does for ya ^+^
