Sorry for resubmitting, I forgot to check this as a security
vulnerability.  Please delete the other one.

I do not know if this is a bug persay, but it is pretty important.
My clipboard has been hacked, and now permanently has this in it: 
"http://xp-vista-update.net/?id=01502200020";

A quick search on google has given me this result:

wow ... something's hijacked my Mac clipboard with this string 
"http://xp-vista-update.net/?id=01502200020"; .. malicious URL about 9 hours ago 
from twhirl ...

Unfortunately, going to the site doesn't show anything unfortunately, I guess 
its cached data.
I wouldn't be surprised if I picked it up from the web, I do go on my fair 
share of dodgey sites. Also note that I have a tremendous amount of packages 
installed, but there has not been any lately that I have put in.

Do note that control+v, and shift+insert will yeild this result: 
http://xp-vista-update.net/?id=01502200020
middle clicking will however display what I highlighted.

I am running ubuntu 8.04 32bit, on a system76 serval performance
