Attention Everyone: Something strange is happening. If I copy any bitcoin address, This is what will paste

Pasting anything else is fine.

Let me dig to find out how this got to infect my computer.

Meanwhile, everyone double check and double check your address.

These guys are being too smart.

They got me. Please don't be the next victim.

Share this to everyone you love in cryptoworld

You are right. Mine is different. I use to copy space among and delete it when pasted or type it letter by letter.

Update:

After all efforts I was able to rectify the problem.
A Spyware siting in the registry had affected the clipboard of my computer. It was targeting any bitcoin address I copy.
I was able to fish it out after updating my Malabyte Anti Malware program.

...........
Registry Keys Detected: 1
HKU\.DEFAULT\Software\AskPartnerNetwork (PUP.Optional.ASK) -> Quarantined and deleted successfully.
................

How I got this still baffles my imagination. The only thing I suspect is news.bitcoin.com that suddenly started popping news on my Taskbar Notification area without my authorization. I am not saying the site is malicious, but that's the only thing that happened to my system before my clipboard was compromised.

Everyone should just be careful. I am fortunate I did not transfer something big.
