i experienced the SPOOLSV.EXE problem and it was trying to access internet all time.
My case is totally not occured from the queuing printing job, as i checked all printer
including the MS printer. and if u have the same problem as mine... u can notice
in the windows task manager (ctrl+alt+del) in the processes, there is TWO same program
running, which is spoolsv.exe from SYSTEM which most of the people here talking about,
and another will be SPOOLSV.EXE, under the owner's user name. THAT IS A TROJAN HORSE!
I was trying to remove another trojan horse so called regscan.exe which also trouble
my CPU usage, so i got a software which also removed this SPOOLSV.EXE.... hope this
may help someone here.... here is the website u can download the program and free
use for 14days. http://www.superadblocker.com/R/REGSCAN.EXE-5591.html
