I think I might have a worm

<< < (3/5) > >>

Eddy:
spoolsv.exe is the print spooler.
spool.exe is the RdBot worm.

Liza:


Sorry,

I meant to type file spoolsv.exe.  I was in a hurry.  Is there a legitimate reason that the print spooler would need access to the internet?

Thanks

Liz

Eddy:
Actually it is not accessing the internet, but a network in general. That is only needed if it is a shared network printer. Other than that you can just block its access to the network in your firewall.

Liza:
Hi,

I think at this point I'm going to give up on trying to find out whats wrong with my computer and just start from the beginning.  Is there any site you can direct me to on the best way to restore from the original disc's and wipe out everything that's now on there and causing me all my problems.

Thanks for your time and effort in helping me.

Liz

Well, you gave up quickly...  :-\
I think you just have to put your CD on the tray and start Windows XP installation... when asked, format the hard disk...
Oh, backup first  8)
