Help with copy and paste caution warning

I've been using windows since 3.1 and word processing since 1980, and I've never come across this problem before.

I automatically use Ctr +c and Ctr +v to copy and paste (programmed before the invention of the mouse!!).

Now all of a sudden, every time I try to copy, I can't use these short-cuts but instead have to go to - edit - copy - edit - paste. I get a pop-up window asking me...

"do you want to allow this page to paste information from your clipboard. With two buttons yes and no. I press yes, and then when I want to paste, I get the same query.

How on earth can I turn this off, because it's driving me insane. There is no option to "not show this again!".

Thankyou so much in anticipation.

I suppose it depends on what you're copy-n-paste-ing but I've been using the right-click-copy and right-click-paste for years without any problems. It works with files, folders, shortcuts, web links, whatever....

 

I'm not copying and pasting anything different from anyone else, and I've never had any problems.

Since I did a clean sweep - virus check - anti-spy, this is where it seems to have stemmed from.

I can copy and paste, but not without a pre-warning first and that's the bit I don't understand.

Why is my pc is asking me all of a sudden, when it never asked before?

btw, my operating system is Windows XP. (The pc was bought in 2005, so it's been fine for the past 3 years. ).

 

Yes, I had malware. I put a post on Malware about it. It was the blue screen/cockroach thingymajig.

That's when I did the clean sweep.

I'll try the keyboard option first, it may be a malfunctioning keyboard because I had problems with the Shift + A on the right hand side, although its working now, it wasn't for a while.
