I don't know if HTTP.SYS is included in every install, but you do not need to be running MS's webserver to use it. Instead of letting apps bind to port 80/443/whatever and doing HTTP themselves, MS encourages using their special interface to make the kernel listen for you. So yes, people might be accidentally running this.

Does Remote PowerShell bind to HTTP.SYS or do its own thing?
