I have a question. I heard that to fix this problem I just need to delete "printer", but if I delete it and it wasn't a virus, will I still be able to print??? (We were told it was related to printing...)
-
Hello, after consulting the two pages regarding this issue, I am posting my problem which may be a bit different. Indeed, like everyone else, I have a spoolsv.exe in my active processes at startup; however, it does not take up 99% of my CPU but around 5000 KB (this varies). Moreover, it is possible for me to remove it until the next startup of the computer by deleting it three times in a row (once deleted, it takes 2 minutes to restart, starting from 2500 KB up to 5000 KB progressively), but after repeating the operation three times, it no longer comes back.
So I am looking for how to delete it permanently; of course, it is not detected by antivirus software, I have no files in my printer folder, I tried formatting my computer using the Windows XP CD, but nothing can be done, it is still there.
However, I note the presence of two spoolsvs during my searches, one in System32 and another in WINDOWS/perfecth that is named SPLOOLVS.EXE-282F76A7.pf.
Thank you for your attention. -

I have the spoolsv.exe process and I'm not sure if I should end it or not. Thank you for your response.

Hi,
I confirm: you just need to go to the printers and you will see one with a small number/digit in the icon, indicating that there are print jobs pending.
Generally, this is the Windows virtual printer, not your default printer.
Right-click/open/delete all documents will stop the excessive cpu usage.
So, deleting the process will be pointless if this maneuver is not executed, and... it is not the cause of any infection, just a trace of a misdirection error during a failed print request.
++- I copied and pasted from a friend who also couldn't access the printers.
His solution:
I then searched on the disk to see if I could find several "Spoolsv.exe" files because there were discussions on the internet
about a "Trojan" with that file name but which would be located elsewhere than in \Windows\System32\
I found another one in \Windows\Servicepatchfiles\I386\
I stopped the service in the task manager and replaced the file in \Windows\System32 with
the other one, then I rebooted and everything was in order.
