http://www.auditmypc.com has some interesting information on this non-patched vulnerability. Also a good site to add to your list of free online security test sites. The IE issue was under the privacy section.

If you're using IE, highlight some of this text and select copy before you visit - it may suprise you!

If the site was able to show you the contents of your clipboard, you should follow the recommendations to prevent this from happening again.

I do a lot of programming and paste code to my clipboard often - the last thing I want is to have someone view my code.

Wow is right; the number of security vulnerabilities out there is amazing!
