Loaded with malware

Pros
Somewhat simple removal, though there are hidden files
Cons
The installer installed 3 other pieces of malware, hidden reinstallers, registry keys and browser add-ins
Summary
Installed on Windows 7, installer includes a bunch of malware and deliberately obfuscates uninstallation.
does what it says: simple, fast, no cruft & FREE

Pros
does what it says.. if you want a simple clipboard manager that is TRULY FREE then this is it... works & is fast. Very simple interface & the preview feature is nice without getting in the way of productivity/speed
Cons
I see the ability to save a handful of common "clips" as essential, which this software does NOT do. My email, address, phone number, maybe common IP addresses, hostnames. If u don't need this then you've got a winning program Maybe a future release?
Summary
This is really good software & it's really Free. And for all you Windows 7 users it actually works (something that lots of Clipboard Managers still cannot figure out for some reason). Of course I'm trusting that CNet did their homework & tested it for things like ensuring there is no back door of my clips travelling to somewhere in China where someone now has all my personal information... Seeing some of the lousy editor reviews on CNet where obvious stuff is missed I am skeptical so I try not to copy/paste really secure things like Credit Cards, SSN's, passwords to my bank, etc...

Clippy keeps a recent history of what you've copied so that you can paste it later. To view your copy history and select something to paste press Ctrl-Shift-V It supports text, rich text, and even screenshots.
