Hi Oracle forumers,

For a while every computer for which I have installed or updated Java it seems like Java's auto-updater triggers the security alert shown above. Multiple times I have clicked View Certificate, clicked the Install Certificate button, I went through the Certificate Import Wizard's process and accepted the default selections, and the wizard told me the import was successful. However, a few days later I see the same security alert and go through the import process all over again. I think the site is not always the same and I thought that after importing a few certificates I wouldn't be bother by this anymore but the security alerts seem to never end. In the past this wasn't an annoyance and I guess this changed for some reason but is there a way to set up Java so that updates are secure and I am not bothered by security alerts?
