I'm using IE9 by the way, which I only installed yesterday so I can't say whether the issue was already present with IE8.

You might try TSVN->Settings->Icon Overlays->Show overlays and context
menu only in Explorer, which will stop TSVN showing up in open/save
dialogs. Whether that will stop the security warnings I do not know.
