I have gotten several appearences of VX2, IMLServer IEPlugins, and Roings on
my computer for the last few days. I delete them after running Ad-Aware
Personal. I was wondering how to prevent these from showing up, and undo any
damage they've done to my computer. (I also tried McAfee Virus Scan, but
that does almost nothing for my current problem.)

Hi Sally,
Boot into Safe Mode (F8) at startup;
Empty your temporary files AND your Temporary Internet Files C:\Documents
and Settings\Username\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files folder ;
Run the scan while in safe mode;
If you are running SP2, open IE--->Tools--->Manage Add-ons, and uncheck any
BHO's that you don't recognize.

Anti-virus isn't designed to remove spyware - they're not technically
"viruses" because you or others in your household have actually chosen to
install it (try reading the EULAs for that stuff some time).

If you want to keep this garbage off, you need to use your computer the same
way you'd use any other power tool - with its safety guards on. Those
guards on XP are the built-in firewall, the NTFS file system, and limited
user accounts. And you need to stick with software and hardware actually
designed for XP. "Safe Hex," as David suggested.
