There is need to install a licensed antivirus software to any device you use in doing cryptocurrency to avoid such malicious program like this. There are several ones and cheap to look for.

Although I do not copy my portfolio address, I always write it when converting, but one time this happened when I tried to copy the wallet address, but I discovered that it is not a virus or a hack, but it is because of the difference in languages between the platform and your computer, meaning that the numbers make up and the letters It causes a change. I set my computer on the platform language. There was no change in the title. This means that my test was successful

That's only part of the antidote for hackers and scams. another part of it is from ourselves who do not do carelessly and interact with strangers who invite cooperation and provide assistance for matters relating to crypto.

I think this malicious program called the Trojan horse is a destructive program pretending to be a useful application, but it works to harm your computer or steal your private information after it is installed.

Before I send the money, make sure it is correct, but then it turns out that it is fake and it is very uncertain how hackers hack through the clipboard.

We should be very careful and vigilant when doing transaction on different coins and tokens, you need to check and checking you make sure it is the one

I have heard about such virus a lot but I have never met one and I think that we just need to pay more attention when we make any transaction with cryptocurrency.

Well this could be a  problem but could also be' easily resolved. If you think when you are on an exchange , for example binance, when you make a transaction, after you need to confirm it on email, so when you go to the email you check it correctly if the address has changed , if it has with that malicious program , you just do not confirm transaction.

That wouldn't solve the problem, as the virus can replace the address every time. @Loly I'm sure you already found a solution for this, you should run a virus check with your antivirus and delete the virus completely. Stay safe while downloading new programs, viruses can damage your funds.

This happened to me one day, but I was able to quickly detect it and it was caused by a harmful virus that is inside an extension in Chrome browser, so I deleted the browser and created a new update for the computer so we have to pay attention to this matter as much as possible.

Something strange has happened to me that calls for attention.
When I copied my wallet address to deposit currencies into it, I noticed, when pasting, a change in the wallet address.
This happens with some of you as it is a malicious program or virus that replaces the wallet address with another address and steals your currencies.

Please pay attention and confirm the address of the wallet before sending any currencies.
Who got like this?  How can the problem be solved?

This is hacking system. I think your device is hacked. It's only happens when anyone get hack. In the crypto filed it's a common fact. But it's too dangerous.

[Laboni 755]

The number of crypto hacks is on the rise. By replacing the address of a malicious program wallet, the program will hack everything on your computer with all the information on your computer. In that case, it is better not to use malicious programs on the computer and to check and select well before use.

These types of problems occurs only when your system is bugged by virus and malware. You can easily avoid such incidents by securing your network browsing and internal system. For that there are many antivirus available at suitable plans and you can install the one to your needs.

I heard about this problem occurring with many people, I suspect that this problem is due to the presence of malware in your computer, you should install a strong and updated antivirus, I recommend you to use Kaspersky.

[Shaza Ahmad 1682]

I check the transfer address before every transfer process by looking carefully at the address because several people previously warned me about this malware that changes the address after pasting it.

I've heard of this type of malicious ways as to which many users have complained on their initial addresses changed when on the cause of having to do a transaction, as on their reports it's obviously the work of a virus. As those who live in stealing can do this activities, on stealing from people

[Brushless4500KV 4214]

This problem can be avoided without any problem. When you copy and paste your public wallet address anywhere check and double check your full address. I mean the full letters and numbers from beginning to end because it may change only one or two letters that could be unnoticeable. It may hurt your eyes a little but is definitely worth it because losing your funds is more harmful. I have never come across this malware attempt because I have Malwarebytes installed on my PC.

[pablomarwan 3082]

I've done this with me before. I saved the title of my wallet on a page that jot down the important points. When I copied the address of my wallet in order to do a transaction, I urged that the address was changed without knowing that, but fortunately I did not do any operation. Here I learned that my device has been hacked. You have to end up downloading a malicious application or are browsing a suspicious site. You are exposed to a hack or any theft of your information, currencies, and other important things to your self and the victim.

I had a similar malicious program on my computer , I got rid of it completely by resetting the system to factory settings without saving data.

[Saboor 511]

We need to be very careful with some of the wallet because we will start losing our coins and this will be a big problem, and it will cause problem to many of us. So let us avoid malicious sites and links
