    A few minutes ago, i got a Privatefirewall's Process Monitor alert saying that Firefox is attempting to copy screen content. (of course, i blocked it)

    Any ideas? o_O

    Are you using ScriptNo? That's how ClearClick works.

    You wouldn't have to click anything. Clearclick takes a screenshot of your page and then compares it to the html to see if there are hidden links in areas there shouldn't be.
