I think that's a plugincheck bug, it doesn't really know the difference
between Acrobat and the Reader. Since your Acrobat is fully patched, you
are probably fine.

Anyway, you *could* install Reader 11.x in parallel to Acrobat, and use
Reader as a browser plugin leaving Acrobat only for editing. I don't
know if that actually gives any enhanced security, though.

Myself, I decided a long time ago to disable the PDF plugin. I prefer
downloading my PDFs in full and opening them locally.
