You can't.

But you don't need to. Your issues almost certainly have nothing to do with the Safari update.

Well i enter the login page, i type in my l/p and it wont log me in. After a 15min this msg pops up.
Ive reset Safari, deleted the plist file, emptyed cache and still nothing!
Im on a lan and after testing it in other computers it was fine, problems exist only in my G5! Im using Safari 3.2.1 and Tiger10.4.11
Same goes for Hotmail too.

This is almost certainly a Safari bug. Report it to Apple, so they can fix it in the next Safari update.

Your airport card probably dropped your connection but thinks it still has it; a router restart and airport refresh usually do the trick for me.

I have a dual G5 so theres no Airport! The router i dont think has anything to do with it cause i dont have any problem with other sites, so why an issue with yahoo and hotmail email login?

Who is the manufacturer of your firewall/internet security suite? I used to receive the same message on my PC when I had Safari and System Mechanic Suite installed... no amount of removing and reinstallation fixed it. ONLY deleting System Mechanic and switching to another security suite fixed the issue (I went to Kaspersky- works nice... had grown tired of Symantec Norton's 360 stunk and both 360 and Norton's Internet Security were resource pigs)

The fact that the issue exists with Firefox indicates that it's not a Safari issue.

Steps to try:

1) Remove any and all "security suites". They're universally crap and provide little to no protection above that which ipfw (Mac OS X's built-in firewall) provides.

2) Seriously, remove any "security suites". They suck. A lot.

3) Try another network connection. Try to eliminate as many steps between you and the outside world as possible.

Uh... what?

What "security warning" are you referring to?

Can you please provide the exact text of the warning, or a screenshot?
