Bware of clipboard hijacking when you are visiting untrusted websites!

I wanted to print out an image of a bitcoin public key, and googled "bitcoin qr code":

The second hit pretends to create a QR-code for you, but simply visiting the pages adds their own public address to your clipboard (probably overwriting the one you wanted to use). If you do not notice and somebody later pays you using the QR-code, your money is lost.
