Posted 9:40 CST, Saturday the 27th: I OWNED THE VIRUS!! MWAHAHAHAHAA!! Now for the gruesome details. The Battle of Good (Me) Vs EEEVIL (spoolsv.exe and the homeworld 2 keygen that infected it... i think) All was quiet on the western frontier. It was a friday night (last night) and Jello` had just downloaded Homeworld 2 (yeah, im a bad boy, cry me a river). He opens it with WinRAR, and goes to the keygen.rar. He opens it, runs the keygen.exe and WHAM it asks if i want to shut down my firewall. Considering I'm a dumbass, and I really hate my firewall, I clicked "sure, infect my computer, and turn off my firewall" (Yes). I restarted the computer, and took a nap. My sister gets on and it starts acting strange. She logs in, and it freezes. So my dad asks if it was acting weird for me, I said no. He asks if I downloaded anything recently, and of course since I'm a good little boy () I said no. Well, he spent all night doing some stuff trying to figure it out. He runs a virus scan with Norton, nothing shows up. He gives up. So, I go to sleep again at 10. Wake up at 6. Go downstairs, mess around on the computer. I notice that when I log on, it freezes at desktop (like I stated). I try to close the spoolsv.exe process because its taking up 99% of the cpu time. Well I do that and the start menu and icons show up, but like 4 more spoolsv.exe's show up. Ohhh nooo!!!!! WERE DOOMED. So I spend all day trying to figure out what the hell is going on talking on irc in SAFE MODE. Wow, safe mode is cool, and it starts up really fast too. I gotta use it more often. But anyway... 6 pm... I run a virus scan. OH NO HOMEWORLD 2 KEYGEN AND SPOOLSV.EXE ARE INFECTED AND CLASSIFIED AS BACKDOOR.TROJANS... AAAAHHHHHHHH. LORD SAVE US ALL. Okay enough drama. Soo... I delete the hw2 keygen so my dad dosent see but leave the spoolsv.exe so he can see what to do. HE THOUGHT IT WASNT THE PROBLEM AND I DID. WHATS IRONIC IS HE WORKS FOR THE COUNTY GOVERNMENT WITH COMPUTERS AND LAST NIGHT HE SPENT 2 HOURS DOING ALL THIS STUFF TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WTF IS GOING ON AND ALL I DID WAS A FREAKING VIRUS SCAN!!!!!! thats funny. So anyway.... We scan C:/windows for virus' and OUR BEST FRIEND spoolsv.exe shows up. Yay. And so we try to repair/quarentine/even delete through norton. No luck. Time to do it manually. CONTROL ALT DELETE HERE WE GO. ending spoolsv.exe. Registry, here we come. Spoolsv.exe in regestry... GOODNIGHT IRENE. (I dont know my civics teacher says that all time time) So, we restart computer. Oh no, the colors are all whack!! Aahhh!!!! I log on. I get 8 errors saying "blah blah windows sucks ass, oh by the way, we cant find spoolsv.exe as stated in registry. blah blah... your dumb for using windows, hahaha bill gates is god" so everythings working good except for that and the colors. I restart. Still whack. I install latest drivers from nvida.com... CHI-CHING! HE SHOOTS HE SCORES! Restart, back to normal, excluding the missing spoolsv.exe. And here I am, bragging about my wannabe computer knowledege. Anyway, I owned that virus. have a nice day _______________ Original Post: eah, my computer has a virus, or something else that causes it not to work. When I log on to my account (under win XP) It just freezes at the desktop background, no start menu or icons or anything. I press ctrl alt del and theres something called spoolsv.exe as a process. I choose to run that and then my start menu and icons appear, but another spoolsv.exe shows up on the processes list and then my computer freezes right there  . Knowing how computer illiterate I am I have no clue what the hell spoolsv.exe is, but it seems to be the problem me thinks. So, I'll be away from the JA until I can fix this _______________ Brady Brothers: Orion-Greg, Furi0us-Peter, Me-Bobby. Long lost cousin to Flash. Midbie Council #007. Ex-JAK.

Then, I think you have a virus of sorts. If I were you, i would boot into safe mode, and do a virus scan of your entire system.

Umm well I can tell you taht the spoolsv.exe, is not a virus, it actually is a Service in Windows that helps with printing. Check to see if ur anti-virus is upto date, run a scan on ALL FILES. If needed go to www.grisoft.com and get the free AVG virus scanner and try that. With what you said that the system like locks up. It could be a virus or it could be that some program installed, or that starts up with the system is fubared, and that in turn fubared your user account. _______________ When a Man lies he murder's some part of the world.
