IE8 issues on Windows 7 RC

Turns out this is because of Sophos Antivirus. This is because of the webscanning component.

To fix do the following:

1. Create a key named Webscanning under the Sophos key:

   32-bit:
   HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Sophos\Webscanning

   64-bit:
   HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\WOW6432Node\Sophos\Webscanning

2. Create a DWORD registry key named SuppressBHOLoader with a value of 1 at the above location"
