I can confirm this behavior. This service is enabled on Windows 2000
and XP by default.

I noticed it on my sister's PC after she clicked away 3 advertisement
pop-ups and growling at the PC. I think that the average user does
not know how to disable it.

(And btw: NO, the average MS-Windows user is NOT USING any firewalls.)
