					This module exploits a vulnerability in AdminStudio LaunchHelp.dll ActiveX control. The
				LaunchProcess function found in LaunchHelp.HelpLauncher.1 allows remote attackers to run
				arbitrary commands on the victim machine. This module has been successfully tested with the
				ActiveX installed with AdminStudio 9.5, which also comes with Novell ZENworks Configuration
				Management 10 SP2, on IE 6 and IE 8 over Windows XP SP 3.
