All this leaves me to believe that LinkScanner uses a component that is a M$ approved variant of IE to fetch pages off of the web. Maybe somebody who has this installed could do a more thorough investigation.

Just because they use a component lib of IE if its using IE at all, doesn't automatically mean Microsoft approves of it.

I am guessing since this works in IE or Firefox that it doesn't even require IE to work, that it has its own lib separate from IE to do the downloads and checks.
