Since an "auth-check" is made instead of the more typical organization check, if you view the subject information for the certificate you will see something like this:
CN = www.yourdomain.com OU = Domain Control Validated - Organization Not Validated OU = See www.geotrust.com/quickssl/cps (c)02 O = www.yourdomain.com C = US
In this case, if you feel your subject info must past scrutiny you are out of luck. The cheapest cert they have which works in almost all browsers and doesn't show this message is the "true businessID" which costs $229.00 for a new cert or $159.00 a pop for renewals.....Oh, and for this "low price" they make you agree to display their advertising icon crap on your page. I never do, and they don't seem to know. I will say this though, they are much easier to work with than those assholes at Verisign, and have a very responsive support team. These guys always seem to be cleaning up after these little marketing glitches with refunds and re-issues after the truth is realized about why they offer such a cheap cert.
Didn't take long after rolling my own with openSSL to realize what a power/money game the cert business is!

Worked with Vint Cert at UCLA in the 1960s, credited with idea of packet switching on networks.
