I had 19 different spyware items, 2 trojans. And Spybot told me to replace the spoolsv.exe file from dllcache file into the system32 file.
I found the dllcache file, but the spoolsv.exe file is not in there.

Do you think the spoolsv.exe in the system32 file is still part of the trojan spyware?

Also, could I take the spoolsv.exe file from any computer??

Thank you for any help!

Try scanning the file with one or both of these online scanners and see what you get:
Online malware scan (http://virusscan.jotti.org/) (virusscan.jotti.org)
VIRUSTOTAL - Free Online Virus and Malware Scan (http://www.virustotal.com/en/indexf.html) (Virustotal.com)

Thank you. Both scans showed bo threats left.
My computer is still acting weird. Like there are a lot of processes going on in the back ground.

I just un installed Adaware, and the background processes went away.
I am still worried that part of the Trojan spyware is still in my computer, even though all my Spybot scans have come up clean.

My Symantec picked up items that keep coming back.
XPAntivirus
Trojan Horse.
Trojan.Pandex
Trojan.Virantix.C
Trojan.Fakeavalert
Hacktool.Rootkit

But I think they are viruses, it shows successfully cleaned & quarantined.

It is all part of the original email spyware attachment that I got.

Anybody have any answers of what I should do??
