Document Scrap '????????????????...'

 

...where ???????????????? is my Credit Card No. !!!

 

....now, I do often copy and paste my CC No. into various places e.g. banking

....so considering that I'm as sure as I can be, that my internet security

has not been compromised, ...any idea how this appeared on my desktop, and

where it came from ? ...my first guess that it was dumped there by Word

....maybe something to do with the temporary files that Word creates every

time one opens a Word *.doc ???

 

....any thoughts muchly appreciated,

 

regards, Richard
