Well since i put a topic up about my computer i figured out spools.exe has been running every time on my computer when i start it... i dont have ANYTHING on when my computer loads or anything.
i read up on it and it COULD be a virus, but since i've scanned and its nothing, they also said its a printer process, thing is... i haven't tried to print ANYTHING and idk, i just ended the process and no problem so far...
explicit: throat.

No matter what, whether you have a printer or not - spools.exe is an automatic process. Yes, you can end it or turn it off completely, but it won't make a difference.
All it is is the "printer" service. It basically adds support for your computer to be able to print. Nothing harmful.

spools.exe is the printer "spool service". You require this additional pylon if you wish to print anything.
