Yes, I do run Citrix (Go To My Pc).
I've tried shutting off, closing program, etc., but it doesn't help.
I've ran this program for years and never had a problem. Then about a month ago after a spyjack, this spooler issue began.

Hi, I'm not sure about the log.
Should I post a HiJack This log here?

No we need a Malware person to look at it.
I am wondering if your system is clean. All the steps you have taken should have worked.

This was my original post (under my old user name).
It took a while, but I think MFDnSC got me clean. Then he suggested I start a new post in this forum here.

Ok I did not know you had been there. Lets try a basic just to see
go to Start> Run > CMD and press enter, then type 'net start spooler'
Does this work I know it is running BUT.
It was something removed with the Fix you ran. Do you have the xp cd

Thanks, I will try the CMD again as soon as I get home shortly. I do not have the XP cd, as it came pre-loaded, but I am asking some friends and hopefully someone has it.
Also, as for my Malware issue...MFDnSC was able to get rid of most of the stuff, but that spooler service was the one remaining thing. We tried a few unsuccessful fixes, and then that is when he told me to start a new post here.

You willing to try this ?
Go in and Stop your print spooler. Go to c:\windows\system32\spoolss.dll and rename the file
spoolss.old go here Spooler.dll and download a free .dll and place it in the same folder as above.
The main point is to make sure your current .dll is the same as this one. Spooler SubSystem DLL, v. 5.1.2600.2180
If you want to be sure make a restore point 1st
Your choice

Ok, the new spooler .DLL did not work. I'm about to try the Adobe solution.

COmputer did NOT come with pre-installed printer. I added it myself and I have the original Brother installation floppy.
