Fill Hard Drive with Spooler.XML

The hard drive of our PC filled up with a 26 Gigabyte
file at c:\spoolerlogs\spooler.xml (spooler/xml was over
26 Gigabytes).

I think this file was being used by Microsoft Antispyware
as it had crashed (with an error message). I rebooted
the computer and could only delete spooler.xml after
diabling Microsoft Spyware.

I would like to know what is going on.

We've seen issues where errors.log reached 4 gigabytes or more, but neither
the filename nor the location that you are citing is anything that I've seen
on my machines.

I hear you when you say that you were only able to delete the file after
halting Microsoft Antispyware--are there other files in this folder which
might help us understand what the relationship is? I'm not convinced these
files relate to Microsoft Antispyware, at this point.

My buddy gave me his almost new Dell system to fix.
There's not much on it other than XP and Office Professional 2003.
It had the same issue where c:\spoolerlogs\spooler.xml took over the system and the spooler.xml file was over 66 Gb on an 80 Gb hard drive. No room left on C: warnings.
I had to reboot in safe mode to delete the file.
Microsoft Malicious blah blah was NOT installed and neither was any other Microsoft anti-virus apps.
Does anyone know what creates this folder and file?
I know 'spool' has to do with printing, so is it a bad printer driver installation?
