As being a die-hard Microsoft fan, I did not tried this on any other browsers (the site itself says this happens in Netscape too!). After seeing all the comments in favour of FireFox, I downloaded the same and tried it.

Surprisingly It worked, clipboard data is secured and that site was not able to trace the data copied on clipboard. Amazing :)

I would suggest the MS IE Team to make the "Allow paste operations via script" property to be disabled by default in their next version.

Thanks!

Try this in Firefox. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised, unless you hate Firefox.

An easier way to avoid this is to use Firefox.

If you use FireFox, you don't have to do anything! This is an Internet Explorer only security issue.

Using Firefox is a good solution too ;)
