No, your question is valid, and occurred to me also.
I would have mentioned it myself, save for the fact that a 2nd XP PC has 2214 installed,
and while this component is available, it is not installed, since that instance of avast was from a clean, custom install.
So I'm reporting a PC that gained this component after updating through the GUI
when it was originally in the state described as above.
Perhaps I shouldn't be so surprised - I've seen numerous reports of items mysteriously appearing after
such an update ?
