| I'm having trouble with my PC when I start up it sometimes Locks and the CPU
| usage is at a maximum. After running Ad-Aware, McAfee VirusScan and
| AntiSpyware(all up to date) nothing showed up. On a start up one time I got a
| brief message about a spoolsv.exe error so after each start up I check
| Process Explorer and see spoolsv.exe running and its Location is
| C:\WINDOWS\system32\dllcache\spoolsvc.exe. After I did some research I now
| find some sites and forums say its a spybot worm and should be Deleted while
| others say its a system file for Network Printing and I could be in Danger
| if I touch it. When I ran a Search I found it at three locations. They are
| C:\WINDOWS\system32\spoolsv.exe
| C:\i386\spoolsv.exe
| C:\WINDOWS\$hf_mig$\KB896423\SP2QFE\spoolsv.exe
| When I ran sigverif it says C:\WINDOWS\system32\spoolsv.exe has not been
| digitally signed.
| What Action can I take with any or all of these .exe files?
| Can I Delete or should I Fix in Hyjack This? If this file is Deleted will I
| be able to start up OK? or is there another action I can take?
| Please, Any Help Greatly Appreciated, Thanks.
Download MULTI_AV.EXE from the URL --
http://www.ik-cs.com/programs/virtools/Multi_AV.exe
To use this utility, perform the following...
Execute; Multi_AV.exe { Note: You must use the default folder C:\AV-CLS }
Choose; Unzip
Choose; Close
Execute; C:\AV-CLS\StartMenu.BAT
{ or Double-click on 'Start Menu' in C:\AV-CLS }
NOTE: You may have to disable your software FireWall or allow WGET.EXE to go through your
FireWall to allow it to download the needed AV vendor related files.
C:\AV-CLS\StartMenu.BAT -- { or Double-click on 'Start Menu' in C:\AV-CLS}
This will bring up the initial menu of choices and should be executed in Normal Mode.
This way all the components can be downloaded from each AV vendor's web site.
The choices are; Sophos, Trend, McAfee, Kaspersky, Exit this menu and Reboot the PC.
You can choose to go to each menu item and just download the needed files or you can
download the files and perform a scan in Normal Mode. Once you have downloaded the files
needed for each scanner you want to use, you should reboot the PC into Safe Mode [F8 key
during boot] and re-run the menu again and choose which scanner you want to run in Safe
Mode. It is suggested to run the scanners in both Safe Mode and Normal Mode.
When the menu is displayed hitting 'H' or 'h' will bring up a more comprehensive PDF help
file. http://www.ik-cs.com/multi-av.htm
