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.

Richard

    Recently had this problem with Java JRE new PC and after JRE 9 install :

    C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Java\Java Update\jusched.exe

    which popped up at login time - kind of scary these days.

    I uninstalled/reinstalled JRE and it works.

    @Nocie_DL; After looking at several of the responces above and trying to figure out if I wanted to  'Check For Publisher's Revocation'    I came to your post.

    I thought 'No, it couldnt be this easy?'

    Today is 9/28/12 yet according to my computer it is 10/22/12.

    Hopefully the problem is solved!

    Going to keep an eye on my computer's dating habits from now on.

    Thanks.

    read this, see if it can clear your issue.

    Good article, describing certificates.  Link to Microsoft Tech article as well.  Thanks for the post.  As I previously described, (and mentioned in the article) Checking for Publisher's certifcate revocation can prevent fraudulent certificates.  I don't personally think this is a solution to disable the security, at least not permanently.  I further found that my previous thoughts about being logged on as administrator only appeared to work as other computers did not.  After carefully examinig the certificate, what I did was disable UAC as administrator and downloaded Java again.  Rebooted and enabled UAC after confirming that the certificate did not reappear.  Perhaps in this case (JAVA - only) some part of the update needed it disabled temporarily. 

    Thanks again.

    Hi Richard,

    I'm getting the same thing, despite having experienced in the past that this resolves it:https://knowledge.verisign.com/support/ssl-certificates-support/index?page=content&id=SO1193 This time, it is not solving the problem.

    I'm trying to push Java 1.6.0_21 to our Win XP Pro SP3 users using these switches in my script </quiet /qn /norestart> and it works on some systems great, and on others it gives this certificate message.

    The problem systems have the IE setting described in the link above unchecked, the clock's are set properly, and the latest root certificates have been updated through Windows Update. We're not using a proxy server, and Automatically Detect Settings in IE/Tools/Internet Options/Connections/LAN Settings is unchecked.
