You mentioned that copy, pasting works fine when you use through the menu bar which means that these options are working fine in your windows.

Now check the "Properties window" and click on "hardware" option. After that click on "Properties>>Driver>>Uninstall>>ok". Now restart your computer.

whatever you call virus, torjan, malware these are the reasons behind your problem, To solve this problem there are several ways but let me come up with the easy solution first... that is restoring..

Restore your system to previous state, that is to the date when it had perfectly..
click on start.
Type Restore.
Click on System Restore.
Now choose the date and click OK
Wait for few minutes, system will restart.
Now check those shortcuts again.

Now update your system antivirus program before you perform any task on your system..

Make sure it is perfectly updated. Once it is updated Perform a complete scan.

Remove all the effected files and virus.

Restart your system..
Happy to assist you
