Yes, *I* installed it.  That's why I mentioned that I use it 
extensively.  AND IT NEVER CAUSES ANY PROBLEMS.  Microsoft is just 
fucking with me.

THE SOFTWARE WORKS FINE.  I just want to bypass the fucking check. 
There's no way to disable it.  The check is in IE, not DLA.

THIS ONE WARNING BOX MAKES IE8 UNUSABLE ALL BY ITSELF.  We have tens of 
thousands of machines with DLA installed on them.
