Roings:library, what is it, how do I get rid of it?

I am running XP, Norton Internet Security, Adaware, Spybot, Stinger and a couple of others I can't remember right now.  Every time I scan with Spybot I get Roings:library at C:\windows\system32\objsafe.tlb.  It deletes ok but the next time I scan it is there again.  Is this anything to worry about and if so how do I keep it from coming back?

The file objsafe.tlb is a type library, specifically for Visual Basic controls. See this link:

So what you seem to be seeing is a symptom, not the problem. Now, Roings appears to be a nasty hijacker and should be removed ASAP like graemeboro says above.
Before running spybot turn your System Restore off (control panel, System). If this is turn on your system will reload the old config and your malware is back.
