Spoolsv.exe trying to access the internet

Recently have been getting request from spoolsv.exe to access via ZA.

I understand this might have something to do with printer software but coincedentally the computer has crashed a time or two which it hasn't done before.

BTW running xp sp2.

Searched for files and found a few starting with that file name but they had been on the system for awhile. One however, SPOOLSV.EXE-282F76A7.pf shows it was created a few days ago and I can't find where it links to any file.

Anyone seen this before. I am trying to figure out if I should just delete or what. I have run a system scan with norton, and three spyware programs and appears clean.
