Expired certificate?

When I try to access my banking site, I get a message:

"Safari can't verify the identity of the website "www.xxx.com". The certificate for this website is invalid...etc."

I know that the web site is valid and correct, and this only occurs on my iMac, while running Safari Version 4.0.2 (5530.19). Firefox is fine, and Safari (4.0.2) on my MBP is fine.

How do I correct this extremely annoying issue?

MacBook Pro 13", Mac OS X (10.5.7)

If you are sure, click Trust Always.

Hi

When that prompt appears, click on the trust button (one on the lower left) to further open the panel. Then change the trust drop down menu to "always trust". That ought to stop the prompt.

Also, contact your lending institution about the expired certificate. It's something they ought to update now.

Thanks, guys. I realize that I can simply click thru the notification and select "always trust", but what I really want to know is why my MBP shows a valid certificate and my iMac does not. The banks cert is valid and not expired. Why are 2 computers showing different results?

Any ideas?
