So I've had a few reports recently about people being unable to paste their license key into the license key dialog of Screenshot Captor, and I haven't been able to think of why that's happening.

In the lastest case, they were getting the blank captures after install, which was confirmed to be the known problem with some over-eager security utility blocking the capturing of screenshots (see http://www.donationcoder.com/forum/index.php?topic=20962.0 and http://www.donationcoder.com/forum/index.php?topic=35475.0).

Which got me wondering.. is it possible that it's the security program blocking the pasting of an email snippet into a target application?

Does anyone know any mainstream security utilities that do this?
