spoolsv.exe

File Name: spoolsv.exe
Usefulness Rating:
The spoolsv.exe process is a main component of the printing interface for the Spooler SubSystem App or Windows Print Spooler Service. It is responsible for managing spooled print/fax jobs. It allows users to print in the background without PC being tied up and is also responsible for queuing printing tasks. When the printer is in use, the spoolsv.exe file is launched, and the process can be seen running in Windows Task Manager.
Recommendation:
The spoolsv.exe is the Print spooler for Windows 2000/XP. Leave this service running unless you never do any printing. If spoolsv.exe is not running, the Add Printer function will not work properly and no printers will be available. This spoolsv.exe is also extremely easily targeted by spyware & adware programs as well as worms and Trojans. The original program file will be found only in the C:\Windows\System32 folder. In any other case or situation, especially where a file named spoolsv.exe exists in another folder, it is a virus, spyware, Trojan or worm.
