If spoolsv.exe is causing 99% cpu usage then it may have a corrupted print file stuck in the system32 folder. To fix it do the following
Go to Control Panel, Administrative Tools, Services and stop the Print Spooler services
Turn off the printer.
Now go to C:\WINDOWS\system32\spool\PRINTERS and delete the files there. You may find some '00002.SHD' and '00020.SPL'. or something similar.
Now turn your printer back on and restart the print spool service.
Spoolsv.exe should be at 2% or less
I had the same problem. CPU Usage very high, fluctuating to 90+ percent, spoolsv.exe CPU usage high (2-50), Outlook Express continually flashing, and ANCII characters in browser URL.
Disabling print sharing under Live OneCare(v2.0)solved this problem.

Merci beaucoup! D'une certaine manière mon ordinateur a mangé le fichier. exe ou quelque chose et Compusol a pris mon argent, mais m'a envoyé aucun mot de passe. Merci encore!

The time to take counsel of your fears is before you make an important battle decision. That's the time to listen to every fear you can imagine! When you have collected all the facts and fears and made your decision, turn off all your fears and go ahead.

Well, this is embarassing. How can someone write something and expect nothing to happen? It's publicity
