So, I’m trying to download an online program that used to run on my computer before…somehow having been removed. I went back to the web site to download again and got the popup regarding the Verisign Certificate. Checking the date of the link, the certificate expired last month. However, IE says that the certificate is valid…
As I understand, the certificate proves that the program that is going to load on my computer is the same as the program that was submitted to Verisign, i.e. there have not been any alterations to the code since then. Fair enough, but why would I get a message that said that the certificate is valid even though the damn thing’s obviously over a month old?
Is it safe to install? What’s going on here?
