Since updating my Kaspersky Total Internet software to the 2017

Is this likely to be because SM 2.48 needs updating, a Kaspersky
problem, or something else?
Thanks, in advance, for advice, fix suggestions, and/or guidance.
First, thanks for all the comments and suggestions.
I upgraded to SM v.2.49 but the problem didn't go away. Then, the Xmas
holidays intervened followed by a bad case of influenza.
Interestingly, Windows Update also stopped working about December 1,
2017 on my Win 7 machine. That turned out to be a slight blessing as I
didn't have to contend with the bad Intel/Microsoft Spectre/Meltdown
patches that screwed up things for lots of folks.
The fix I found was to deinstall Kaspersky Internet Security (KIS) 2017
and go back to KIS 2016. With KIS 2016, all of the security certificate
errors ceased.
My suspicion - untested at this point - is that KIS 2017 contained a
preliminary fix required by the Intel/Microsoft Spectre/Meltdown patch
and thus caused some sort of conflict with an unpatched (i.e. after
December 1) Win 7 system. Who knows? Bad timing?
WFM: I am using SM 2.49.1 and Kaspersky 2017 (KIS 17.0.0.611(j)) with no
certificate errors. All Windows updates through 1/18/2018 applied.
