Spyware or virus?

I am having problems with spyware or a virus. It started a couple weeks ago where I would start my computer and it would work fine, but after a few minutes I couldn't execute new files. It would say file could not be found.
I ran spybot and norton antivirus in normal mode. It got rid of some spyware and it didn't fine any virii. I still had the same problem. I rebooted in safe mode and did a full system scan. It didn't find any virii, but it found the same two spyware. I've run spybot several times in safe mode and normal mode and the same two things come up.
It's listed as this...
Wild Tangent (wish I could copy and paste the message from spybot)and it's listed as a registry value
and
AntiVirusDisable Notify and it's listed as a registry change.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
