What is the Spooler Sub System?

Spooler SubSystem is a legal and essential component of Windows which is used to spool printer jobs. Printing is impossible if Spooler service is stopped or malfunctions. However, there are several known spyware anв trojans that pretend to be legal Spooler SubSystem. They usually have the same name or one of the following names: spoolsv.exe, spoolsu.exe, spoolsv0.exe, spoolso.exe, SP00LSV.EXE (please notice that there are zeroes in this file name, not letters) and some others. Please note that legal spoolsv.exe should reside in Windows\System32 folder and should not appear in startup list.
