Hi Lisa<br />
<br />
I checked my regedit and couldn't find anything called spoolsvr32.exe. The Print process you have called spoolsv.exe is the correct process for the Print Spooler - so that's no problem. If you do a google search for 'spoolsvr' a few sites come up - all in German though (which are all regarding printing and nothing with regards to viruses, etc.) Maybe it is just another name for the Print Spooler? If your computer isn't having any problems (like it's infected by a virus or something) I'd just ignore it!<br />

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I have an Acer Laptop, running XP Home and notice a Registry Entry that I can't find any information for.<br />
Has anyone seen this in HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Wi<wbr />ndows/Curr<wbr />entVersion<wbr />/Run, and ../RunServices:<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;MS Security Hotfix &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &quot;Spoolsvr32.exe&quot;<br />
I could not actually find the file on the C: drive.<br />
SPOOLSV.EXE is running in processes.<br />
Is it legit or some form of virus/trojan?<br />
Ad-Aware SE Personal does not flag it, neither does Mcafee VirusScan.<br />
<br />
<br />
Many thanks.<br />

MS Security Hotfix = &quot;Spoolsvc32.exe&quot; a valid registry entry or virus?

Operating system security (OS security) is the process of ensuring OS integrity, confidentiality and availability. OS security refers to specified steps or measures used to protect the OS from threats, viruses, worms, malware or remote hacker intrusions. OS security encompasses all preventive-control techniques, which safeguard any computer assets capable of being stolen, edited or deleted if OS security is compromised, including authentication, passwords and threats to systems and programs.
