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.

    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.

    Checking for Publisher's certifcate revocation can prevent fraudulent certificates.  I don't personally think this is a solution.  

    What I have found so far with the Java certifciate is that if I log on as an administrator, the certficate notice does not pop-up.  It is only whne logging on as a Standard User that it appears.  I am continuing to check into this as it only happened recently with a Java update.  They claim it is not their problem.
