Question Virus Help

I've just run a virus check on my computer, and it's given me 2 warnings, and the software says it's unable to delete, repair, or quarantine the infected files.

The 2 warnings shown are

The file C: \WINDOWS\system32\mscvhost.exe is infected with the TROJAN.NATSPAMMER virus

The file C: \WINDOWS\sys.reg is a ADWARE THREAT - ADWARE RAXUMS

The Symantec site gives instructions for getting rid of the ADWARE threat. I've followed the instructions, but it doesn't appear to have worked.
I can' t find any info on the NATSPAMMER, or how to get rid of it.

I've run Spybot and Adaware, and neither of them detect anything. I'm running Win XP, and using Norton 2004 antivirus.

Any info as to how to get rid of these infections (and prevent future infections) will be gratefully received, as I've run out of ideas.
