Hello, the spoolsv.exe is the Printer Spooler Service and is located in
C:\Windows\System32 folder. In other cases, the spoolsv.exe could be a worm,
virus, or trojan. Do a search and ensure the correct location.
Secondly, being as it is part of the Printer Service, open the printer queue
and see if there are any print jobs pending. If so, and you don't
require/need any printing, delete the documents that are pending.
Hope this helps.
