spoolsv.exe is a process registered as a backdoor vulnerability which may be installed for malicious purposes by an attacker allowing access to your computer from remote locations, stealing passwords, Internet banking and personal data. If unaccounted for, this process should be removed immediately.
Determining whether this process is a virus or a legitimate Windows process depends on the directory location it executes or runs from in WinTasks. More information

| This is a component of Microsoft Windows Printer Spooler Service. Microsoft Windows Printer Spooler Service manages all print and fax jobs that were directed using your computer.
If located in system32, it's the Windows Print Spooler - which is safe and not a virus! If it's located somewhere else, it's most likely a trojan, trying to fake you with a bogus name.

| Service systeme de windows pour la mise en cache des impressions.
Indispensable si l'imprimante est partagee en reseau local.
Par contre, ce service a fait l'objet d'attaques virales exploitant ses autorisation pour etre accessible meme au delà du reseau local.
