A weakness has been alleged in Microsoft Windows XP that could reportedly allow aspects of the Help and Support Center interface to be spoofed via a malicious link. By spoofing this interface, an attacker could potentially present misleading or hostile content to a user in a manner which may cause the user to trust it.

Symantec has not been able to reproduce this alleged weakness.
