Error message "Revocation information for the security certificate for this site is not available. Do you want to proceed? [Yes] [No] [View certificate]

For some time I have been receiving the dialog box containing "Security Alert 'Revocation information for the security certificate for this site is not available. Do you want to proceed? [Yes] [No] [View certificate]' ." I know that many, if not all, of the sites are OK as I have used them multiple times in the past.

I have tried various "fixes" found by Googling "revocation information" and nothing fixes the problem--what ever it is.

When I try to do various updates, not related to this problem, I am not allow to download the updates because of a security problem.

Any suggestions for a computer challenged user? Thanks.

    This is the best way to turn off revocation certificate warning when your user profiles have already been created .

    When you do the following  'start'   'control panel'   'internet options' 

    Select  'advanced' tab  scroll down to the 'security' section.

    UNTICK     'Check For Publisher's Revocation'    then click  'Apply'  and  OK.  

    This will only change for current user.

    To change in all user profiles try the following

    Create a afixrevoke.reg file containing the following

    The file name is what I have used can be changed but must be reflected in script below

    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Active Setup\Installed Components\afixrevoke]

    @="A fixrevoke"

    "ComponentID"="Afixrevoke"

    "IsInstalled"=dword:00000002

    "DontAsk"=dword:00000002

    "Locale"="*"

    "StubPath"="C:\WINDOWS\regedit.exe /s C:\TRS\Apps\Java\revoke.reg"

    "Version"="1,0,0,0

    Create a second revoke.reg file with the following

    Once again this is a file name I have used can be changed

    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WinTrust\Trust Providers\Software Publishing]

    "State"=dword:00023e00

    Make sure the “stubPath” is where the revoke.reg file is located.

    Apply the afixrevoke.reg file to the machine and each time a user logs on it will run an IE update will run and set the registry for that profile.
