Spybot finding this!

windows security center.antivirusdisablenotify

What is this? Is someting trying to disable my antivirus without me knowing about it? It says something about a registry change but I have not changed anything and if it is something that got changed in the registry why did the spybot teatimer not alert me to this?

this is merely information from spybot that either ur virus scan is disabled or not up to date. it comes up as a mocrosoft security center because it is the security center that determined that the virus scan has been disabled/out dated. either update or enable ur virus scan.

you can also just highlight it > right click and choose > exclude from further searches

Antivirus is working and detected all test viruses so why would spybot give me this report?

if it had been disabled and re-enabled between the last time u ran spybot and today when u got this message, u will still get the message just to notify u that it was disabled at some point, basically to tell you your computer protection was compromised, even if just for a second.
