While I understand that spoolsv.exe is a legit microsoft program in XPpro(spooler subsystem app in windows\system32), can anyone tell me why it should need to connect to the net?
Fortunately I run ZoneAlarm which blocked the access attempts(22 counts according to Zonealarm).
My system has recently been infected by the Roings/Roimoi Trojan, and I thought I'd got rid of the offenders, but I'm thinking this may also be a trojan.
I also run AVG,Spybot and Hijack This which helped me to get rid of Roimoi.
I'm also still having problems with explorer - 100% CPU usage when using search. so I guess all is not quite what it should be. [sadeyes]
Thanks for any help

You have not eliminated roimoi yet.

Please post a Hijack This log:
Hijack is not using spoolsv.exe, a lot of your re-attempts are simply that. Allow it access to the internet, it is checking for driver updates.
 
Thanks for the prompt reply bcastner

Here's the log:

I was hoping for the full log from Hijack, as roimoi hides in an inproc32 key in the registry. The above appears clean.

If you have a registry cleaner, ask it to look for "romoi"
Or use regedit and search the Hive HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE for "roimoi"
Delete any key you find.

Search for:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\CLSID\{661A59D1-9B06-4512-BE22-8709AB49E
80A}

Delete it.

It might not be roimoi, as this is still relatively rare stuff.
