Need help getting rid of SPOOLSVC.EXE. Heeeelp!

Hi there, I just found out I had spoolsvc.exe running in my processes. I looked into it and found out it's some kind of trojan/virus. I have Norton Anti-virus, I continually update it, but it doesn't pick it up. I'm not suprised because Norton is just a big waste of money. It doesn't find any viruses, but when it finds something, it will tell you it can't delete it. But I'm getting off the subject here. I have tried trojan hunter to get rid of this spoolsvc.exe, but no luck. I even ran the latest updates. I don't want to try and manually delete this thing in fear that I might screw up my comp. Anyone know any program or way that I can get rid of this thing?

 

Hi Budo_Shadow,

Where there is one, there are often many more. With that in mind, I suggest that you start with the Cleanup Tutorial HERE:
READ ME FIRST BEFORE ASKING FOR SUPPORT: Basic Spyware, Trojan and Virus Removal

Please note the steps that you are able to complete and the ones that give you problems. Note that you need to be in Safe Mode with System Restore OFF (if you have it - you didn't give OS) and have the Viewing of Hidden Files ENABLED as per the instructions in the link. Make sure to do the Online Scans.

Post back and let us know how you fared and somebody should be able to assist you if you still need help.

Best luck
