Answer 1

Delete it, but it may repropagate.



spools.exe is a process which is registered as W32/Kassbot-C trojan. This Trojan allows attackers to access your computer from remote locations, stealing passwords, Internet banking and personal data.



Also try msconfig, see if it is there for a startup up file, delete that entry.



Try safe mode if the above doesn't work. And delete it there.
