Any Freeware Clipboard Managers That Are Still Supported?

[PS85]

Just switched from an ancient Win XP machine to new Win 10 laptop. On the old machine I used ClipX clipboard manager a great deal, I loved it. With the new machine I was all set to download it again when I decided to look around and found out that ClipX is no longer being supported, hasn't been supported for over a decade.

A. Does this make ClipX a hazard to use security wise?

B. If so, are there any freeware clipboard managers that are not a similar hazard?

C. If not, what is an inexpensive clipboard manager that is being currently supported?

Looking forward to any help I can get on this.

ClipCache Pro (costs $30) which I use myself.

I don't think it's common enough software to be a risk. If it works, I'd use it. Otherwise, you may find something here...

Much thanks. I tried Arsclip and had trouble until I realized I had to click to open it, unlike ClipX. I was about to give up on until I discovered that right now. Thanks for the suggestion.

Thanks for the suggestions. I'll try Arsclip for the next couple of days, now that I figured out how it works, and if the right clicking thing bothers me I'll give that page full of those open source clipboard managers. Thanks for the link.

I don't think I'd be concerned about using an unsupported bit of software on my computer provided that:

a) it doesn't connect or listen for a Internet/network connection
b) it doesn't require admin privs to use

My main concern would be if the software works properly on a newer version of Windows.

I also use ClipCache Pro on both my XP and Win 10 computers ... well worth the small initial cost. Free upgrades within the same major version number. It does not seem to get many updates, but it does a great job.
