> We attempted to tell people to ignore the messages in the past, but rather
> than ignoring them, they would accidentally say NO to one of them and cause
> the client to break on their machine, thus opening up support cases - in
> addition, they would receive annoying warnings every time various network
> binding activity happened on their machine. After receiving complaints for a
> year about this, we finally decided to do something until MS would sign our
> driver. The solution to problem is that v3.6 (release in August) will
> include signed drivers and this will be removed.
