EAC will rip it no problem, the issue is that as soon as you stick the
disc in the drive you get infected with a trojan. Make sure autoplay is
disabled and you -should- be OK.

If you want to be extra, extra sure about this you can use TweakUI (part of Microsoft's XP PowerToys package) to tell Windows XP to disable autoplay/autorun for ALL CD/DVD drives on your PC as a class, regardless of drive letter, regardless of whether you add/change a CD/DVD drive in the future. Simply uncheck a single check box and your PC is protected permanently -- you never again have to worry about inserting an infected audio CD.

In TweakUI, the check box is under My Computer/AutoPlay. You can selectively disable it on a per-drive basis or choose to disable it entirely for all CD/DVD drives as a class. (I chose the latter yesterday after being horrified to find that the DVD drive on my laptop had autoplay enabled even though I was sure I had disabled it via the Properties dialog a long time ago.)

Works like a charm and provides great peace of mind.
