Clipboard Monitor Alert

This dialog box is shown when Password Depot is about to move sensitive data to the clipboard and detects that an unknown application monitors changes to the clipboard, using clipboard viewer technology.

NOTE: This alert does not automatically mean there is a real threat or infection. It is mainly a notification that you should keep track of.

Password Depot can 'mask' the changes it makes to the clipboard from other clipboard viewers, however, it cannot guarantee 100% that your PC is protected from any clipboard monitors. Note that Password Depot can only detect certain types of keyboard viewers and cannot replace a full-featured anti-spyware program.

When this dialog box shows, you have four options:

  • Click the Protect button if you would like that the program proceeds to mask its changes in the clipboard.
  • Click the Ignore button if you are sure that the detected program does not pose any risk and thus is eligible to read the data which Password Depot has added to the clipboard.
  • In case of doubt, click Cancel to find out more about the detected program or process.
  • Check the box Save Selection if you want the program to apply the option you have currently selected to all future actions.
