        The Plantronics Hub client application for Windows makes use of an
        automatic update service `SpokesUpdateService.exe` which automatically
        executes a file specified in the `MajorUpgrade.config` configuration
        file as SYSTEM. The configuration file is writable by all users by default.

        This module has been tested successfully on Plantronics Hub version 3.13.2
        on Windows 7 SP1 (x64).
