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.

    If this is just popping up NOT as part of your web browser, you probably have an old version of Java installed.  Uninstall Java or upgrade to the latest version.

    The way to check to to View Certificate and see if there are any clues that it is part of Java.   Or upgrade/remove Java, which is a good idea anyway.

    Whoops, so it is! I came to it from a Google search for the error message, neglected to notice the small print! :)
