Is it possible to reinstall this file. It's infected with
a BKDR IROFFER.A trojan and could not be cleaned.
 
First look in %systemroot%\system32\dllcache for spoolsv.exe. If it's not
infected, overwrite the one in system32 with this one. Otherwise, the
Windows CD has a compressed spoolsv.ex_ file. You can use the 'expand'
utility in system32 to expand it from spoolsv.ex_ to spoolsv.exe (type
expand /? in a command window for usage). Then overwrite the infected
spoolsv.exe with this one.
