The confirmation screen does not show 1 full address line but only the beginning and end of the wallet address. If you are careful, it is helpful to match and verify with the recipient or deposit address.
I made a simple attempt to avoid the clipboard address malware issue:
- make sure you never install any app other than the official website, it is most likely infected with malware and other viruses.
- use "click" automatic copy of address to paste notepad or Google Chrome browser search bar (if using metamask) before pasting in the submit field.
- if possible, copy the address again in the confirmation text and CTRL+V in notepad to verify again with the previous address.
I always apply the steps above when making deposits and withdrawals by checking addresses carefully, so I never face any errors.
Simple concept to avoid clipboard malware but very useful when sending large balance transactions, many cases have happened where someone didn't notice the change of address when pasting the address in the send field but different from the copied address, without following the steps to verify the address described above, then they made the mistake of sending the balance to the address of the clipboard malware.

i dont think malware can do that.
