I found a pretty cool feature in IE7 that really brings a bit of peace to mind when dealing with the commonly spoofed sites out there... like eBay, PayPal, etc..
When IE7 detects a valid certificate it will highlight the address bar in green letting you know the site has been verified. You also get a nice little button next to the address bar that allows you to see a little more information on the site and its certificate.
If you look at what happens when you don't have a valid certificate you can totally see that something is wrong. This time you get a huge red address bar and once more the button... where expanding it this time shows you an expired certificate. Very nice... I think this helps go a long way to making the Internet experience a little more safe, even when it comes to power users.
