I don't want to blame my playing LOTRO for this problem, but it seems that that's what caused this, unfortunately. I'm not 100% sure about that, but it started happening around the time I started playing more often. My CTRL + C shortcut is acting strange. Whenever I open a web browser (doesn't matter what browser) and I try to copy the URL using that shortcut, it would automatically paste that URL to the default web browser. For example, I open Chrome. I copy the URL, doesn't matter what the website is. My default browser, Firefox, then opens up and automatically opens the URL I just copied. I then tried to uninstall Firefox, and do the same thing. Guess what? The default browser becomes IE 9 and that opens up with the copied URL. This is getting really annoying, although this only happens when I use the shortcut to copy URLs. When used for copying other things, it works fine.

just for kicks but also ruling out software kinda. Have you tried this in Safe mode with networking to see if it still does it?

That will rule out most spyware or software that could be causing it.
