Re: security error
For security purposes it is not advisable to add Paypal to your trusted sites. This is due to how Internet Explorer handles security in various zones, and as a general rule is it highly advisable to limit the use of trusted sites unless absolutely necessary, such as in the case of a company intranet page. Otherwise it should be in the Internet Zone. Paypal should function normally within the Internet Zone.
A security error which states that the certificate has expired means just that - the security certificate (digital certificate) used for the secure encrypted SSL (the "S" in https) comes with an expiration date. If it warns you it has expired it means just that. So long as the certificate was not revoked (the error would differentiate between expiring and revocation), then you should be all right for now. In this matter Paypal simply needs to update its certificate, which they undoubtedly will (or already have). If the security certificate came from a valid Certificate Authority and it is for paypal.com, you should be okay.
Empty your Internet Cache (in Internet Explorer click on Tools -> "Delete Browsing History") and try again.
