When people are using Netscape Navigator 3.x, they sometimes get a message saying that the site security certificate has expired. This occurs because the built-in Netscape security certificate expired on 27 July, 1998. The problem is described more fully at Thawte's security site:

1. Choose Options, Security Preferences.
2. Select the "Site Certificates" tab.
3. Find the entry marked "Thawte Server CA". Delete that certificate.
4. Close that dialog box.
5. Now point your browser at http://www.thawte.com/serverbasic.crt and accept the new root certificate. You will be asked for a nickname, use "Thawte Server CA".
