It does not "arise[s] out of XP service pack 2". XP only provides the tool
for some other application to run. It would be like claiming that Firefox
accesses www.abevigoda.com simply because the Abe Vigoda plugin was
installed. No, Firefox doesn't, the program (extension) that Firefox is
running is.
