At first I thought this was a hoax but two other web sites say it's a known problem. I didn't know!

It's been known for a long time that information you cut/copy/paste is vulnerable to be intercepted trough the internet, along with other windows information..

You could use either firefox http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/

or opera
http://www.opera.com/

instead.  Both free alternatives to ie.  Both quite secure and nice to use.

I think Opera is the better product from a functionality/technical point of view but Firefox has some nice add-ons
