Revocation information for the security certificate for this site is not available

About two weeks ago I updated my computer from XP to Windows 7 and installed Windows Live Mail. Since then I have had the same problem described above happen when I receive mail from several of my financial sources. I have made sure that Windows Live Mail is up-to-date and that these sources are designated "trusted." Whenever this happens I can't get rid of the Security Alert and the only way I can shut down Windows Live Mail is to close it through the Task Manager Program. Then when I start WLM up again I have to be ready to click on delete as fast as I can so that this mail is deleted and doesn't prevent me from reading my other emails. Could someone please tell me what to do next as I need to receive mail from these sites.

    Thanks for your help with this issue. Shortly after I posted this question the emails I received from these sites stopped showing the security alert box when I opened them up. I assumed that my Windows Live Mail had been updated (automatically) to fix this problem. I did change the Internet Option as you suggested in case there are other problems in the future. Thanks again for your help.

    The workaround is to open Internet Options in Control Panel, then deselect Check for server certificate revocation on the Advanced tab. Reboot and test. If you practice 'safe surfing' in general, this won't compromise your security unduly.
