IE Destroyer Failure [#143596]

IE Destroyer Fails to do it's Job if I am using any version of Internet Explorer in Parallels Desktop for Mac running Windows XP SP2 with all the latest upgrades to both Parallels and Windows XP SP2. Anyway here is the user agent for I.E. in Parallels:

The user agent string your browser is giving:

Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 5.1)

application name: Microsoft Internet Explorer

application version: 4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 5.1)

platform: Win32

Any chance of fixing I.E. Destroyer so that it works correctly even when runnning Parallels Desktop for Mac http://www.novadevelopment.com

Thank you,

I'm a little lost on why your submitted user agent wouldn't work. The source line that does the browser check is:

if (strpos(strtolower($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']), 'msie') !== FALSE) {

I am lost too. Why was this browser request allowed? Obviously this script doesn't play well with Virutal Enviroments I was using Paralles Desktop for Mac 2.5 (on an Apple MacBook with the 2.16GHz Intel Core 2 Dual processor(s)). using Windows XP Professional Second Edition with all the latest critical and non-critical updates and using the latest version of Internet Explorer and with IE Destroyer active on my site. And instead of being redirected to another page as I am on a P.C. or when I change my User Agent in Firefox or Safari on my Mac. I was allowed to browse my site as if I wasn't using IE at all. So is there a way to add another layer of protection to make sure that any version of MSIE cannot get through even if it is acting as another browser? Anyway this still doesn't explain why my original issue is allowed. When MSIE should be blocked or redirected.
