I can’t seem to find the proper link. I’m not looking for just the top ten most popular. I’m looking for at least the top 1000. Hope you can help. Thanks in advance. :)

When not visiting any sites I get the following: Revocation information for the security certificate for this?

July 26th, 2011

When not visiting any sites I get “Revocation information for the security certificate for this site is not available. Do you want to proceed.” I select “no” and it goes away, then pops up again in a few minutes. I am not on any sites so I’m not sure why I”m getting this or how to get rid of it.
