Does McAfee show a 'properties' button on the dialog? If so, click it and
see what you can find out about the file. If not, do a search for
spoolsv.exe in files and folders on your machine, or explore to
winnt\system32. Right click on spoolsv.exe and select properties. The
properties should include version information which may give a clue about
what the file is. Not all files have version information, but genuine
Microsoft ones would be expected to.
