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.
