Safari can't verify the identity of the website.

Hello,

I have been having this problem in my home. I have 2 macbook pro's, an iMac and external hard drive connected to my home network. We all get this message every 2 days or so. "Safari can't verify the identity of the website." It happens alot with google, gmail, facebook and groupon. Then it takes me an access denied white screen. I need to restart my computer and at times that works, if not I have to wait a while and then it works. It seems that it only happens in my network. When I use my macbook pro some place else, it never happens. There are times when I am redirected to a yahoo developer page, with programing code. Any help on how to fix it? Is it a network virus? Please help! Thanks!!

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.8)

Check your date and time, sometimes when your Mac dies then you reboot it, the date and time gets messed up which usually leads to that issue.

It didnt help to do that. I think that there is some kind of bug in the network. It only happens when I am connected to my home network and with ALL OS X systems. When I use my laptop in other networks, I never get that error. I also have a external hard drive attached to the router. So, I am leaning towards thinking that the bug/virus is in there and propagates itself through the network.
