If you were able to configure your server to prevent the client
producing the warning, they'd be no point in having certificates at
all :)

Your options are;
        1) Buy a certified SSL certificate,
        2) Create your own signing authority, and put its certificate
           in !NetSurf/Resources/ca-bundle,
        3) Don't use HTTPS.
