printer spooler non-functional

Post by gronulosse »

Automatically translated from French.

hello everyone
recently I had a problem with my print spooler I no longer saw my printers and impossible to reinstall them
actually for those interested it was a trojan horse exact copy of the spoolsv.exe that you find in your systemI re-enabled the spooler and it disappeared after restarting the PC
so scan multiple times with search and destroy and quarantine what is found and then vaccinate
there everything came back to normal
don't be afraid to click on eliminate the logs found they are all fake
if it could help you for those who have the same problem
thanks again to those who helped me in the past

Well done!

But avoid spybot search & destroy on a PC, it's a product that's outdated and on top of that fills your hosts file with unwanted sites.

Unfortunately, it's going to block jeuxvideo.com and others and eventually stop access to those sites.

Malwarebytes is the best solution because it can kill a running process, but it's not permanent in the free version.

The pro version is very good and permanent, except for the website blocking which is also drastic and blocks a bunch of sites (though you can disable that feature).

A+
