When HTML Help files were originally introduced, their intended usage was as
a locally-run Help system (that is, off the user's hard drive). However,
many Help authors stored their HTML Help files on a server. Others used the
table of contents and index controls for Web sites.
Microsoft released security bulletin MS05-026, designed to close a
vulnerability in HTML Help files that allowed remote code execution. As a
result, HTML Help files, table of contents controls, and index controls no
longer work correctly when opened from a server.

Basically, this problem has nothing to do with RoboHelp.
