When in Safari (5.0.5), the browser automatically shows as Internet Explorer 4.0 (while using the Develop: User Agent: Default (Automatically Chosen))

When I got to Develop: User Agent: Safari 5.0.5 Mac then it shows that I am using Netscape 6.0!

Why is the User Agent different than the one I've chosen? I have a online Banking site that checks the browser and doesn't support the old Netscape and Internet Explorer browsers. So I end up just choosing different ones until the website finally loads properly.

How can I get it to show as Safari 5.0.5 Mac all the time?
 
When you get a browser open, go to its menu and select Preferences. Click the General tab. What does it say is selected as your default browser?
