copy & paste doesn't work

[john wen]

When I want to copy some file/folder to another folder or
another place, the paste command shown in the right click
menu is disabled. So I cannot paste the file into another
place.
Also I cannot move the file into another place by draging
and droping method. There's no response when I drag the
file. Also I can't move the file when I used MoveTo
function in the Windows Explorer.

What is happening with my computer?
How can I do copy & paste and move function again?

I've heard this issue can be brought on my a lovesan/msblast
attack

reservice pack to sp4 and apply the patches, install a firewall
and update your virus signatures

Did you get a reply on this? I have a similar problem,
please let me know if you know a workaround, see my
posting from today:

- ctrl-c/ctrl-v, Open In New Winw, stop working after
time, fix by reboot

- Recycle Bin, Add/Remove Programs, ControlPanel appear
with all of the icons on the left, with a slider, and
nothing on the right, clicking on the icons does not do
anything

- cannot drag&drop files to folders, etc.

You are probably infected.

Start with searches on Google with strings like you have described "can't
copy & paste" etc and look for like w32.blaster.worm
