Persistent Java-related message
My wife has been getting a pop-up message box on her Win XP computer,
over and over again. It says: The page requires a secure connection which includes server authentication. The Certificate Issuer for this site is untrusted or unknown. Do you wish to proceed? It has "Yes", "No", "View Certificate", and "More Info" buttons. "View Certificate" shows that the cert in question was issued to "javadl-esd-secure.oracle.com", and issued by "Geo Trust SSL CA". I've told her to click "No" and get rid of the message. But it keeps coming up over and over again. The domain name looks like maybe Java is trying to update itself. What can be done about this? -- Tim Slattery

What is being used when this Pop-Upo appears ? IE, Firefox ? Can you post a URL to a screenshot ? Are you using Oracle Java v7 update 25 and ONLY that Java version ? -- Dave Multi-AV Scanning Tool - http://multi-av.thespykiller.co.uk http://www.pctipp.ch/downloads/dl/35905.asp

They give the impression here, it comes from Java 6, and they suggest updating to Java 7. Did Java 6 even have Auto Update ? Maybe there'd be evidence of some startup item (Autoruns). https://www.java.com/en/download/hel...ertificate.xml Paul

This is an XP system. Still might be the problem. AFAIK, she doesn't use any sites with Java applets. I think I'll tell her just to uninstall it, and install the latest version if she runs into something that needs it. -- Tim Slattery

In add/remove programs you may find Java 6 and the update level. Mine on multiple machines is at 37 with an earlier version that didn't clear. In searching support for some other issues it was suggested that you should allow Java7 to install but keep 6 for those sites that still use it.

Is is no longer suggested to use v6 but if one *MUST* it should be the last in that family, v6 update v45. -- Dave Multi-AV Scanning Tool - http://multi-av.thespykiller.co.uk http://www.pctipp.ch/downloads/dl/35905.asp
