Spoolsv.exe uses 100% CPU.
Can't find evidence of trojans.
Have U experienced and fixed this?

Have to delete the process 3 times after each reboot.
And then off course, can't print.

Did a Google search and followed these two links.

It appears it can be a renamed file that is a backdoor program.

Also, you can do a search on

http://www.symantec.com

and there are several instances of backdoor programs that name themselves
spoolsv.exe
Hate to say it, but it looks like your computer might have been compromised.
