Not really answering your question, but why do you think going from 10.x 
to 11.x is a downgrade?
The current level of the Reader for Linux is 9.x and I'd hope a plugin 
check could recognise that a current 'older level' is ok.  Maybe it 
can't.  Anyway - 11.x levels work fine (for me) under Windows.

Going from Adobe Acrobat (any version) to Adobe Reader (any version)
is a major downgrade.

All very interesting, and I remember that, but I'm afraid I don't see 
the direct relevance to today's issue.

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.

You can replace the reader without affecting the rest of the product.  I 
still run Adobe Acrobat 6.2, but I have the Version 11 reader.
