I have the latest version of acrobat reader installed (10.1.4.38) but it still says it needs updating
Problem started out of the blue a few days ago. When I go to a page with a PDF file, it says "Plugin is vulnerable... click to start anyway" (paraphrased). When I look in Add-Ons, it has the following line about the Acrobat Reader "adobe acrobat is known to be vulnerable and should be updated 10.1.4.38". That is the latest version available.
I tried updating it, removing it from my computer, reinstalling, etc, several times. No improvement - I still get the same message.

I have no idea where 10.1.4.38 is coming from. But let me set that aside for the moment.
There actually are two upgrade paths for you.
- Adobe Reader 10.1.6
- Adobe Reader 11.0.2
The simplest path would be, inside Adobe Reader X, to use Help > Check for Updates to get 10.1.6. Does that work?

Weird... if you go to adobe.com, point at the Downloads link and choose Adobe Reader, then send you to a page with 10.1.4.?
I used the "update from within Reader" option to get to 10.1.6 and that solved it.
Thanks,
Please tell me how to get "insider the Reader." I clicked START, then clicked Adobe Reader X and nothing happens. I tired Right-clicking, Open, still nothing. Thanks!
Hi garyd11, has Adobe Reader ever run correctly on your PC, in other words, is this a new problem? Actually, regardless of your answer, if Adobe Reader has crashed, I suspect that restarting Windows might help.
it seems its no good to update right from the add-on you have to go to the site it looks like the update is currently 11.0.03 http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?platform=windows&product=10
never mind it seem the 10.1.4.38 is the latest for windows vista the later versions are for later windows I'm having the same problem in fact I have issues ever time I have to update or do anything with this program its one of the most dreaded things I have to fight with every time I have to reset my computer its an annoying glitchy program alot of uninstalling reinstalling restarting restarting again and its still never quite right
Hi DarkDrakeShadow, Adobe has released a minor update for the Adobe Acrobat X / Adobe Reader X series, which is 10.1.7. Can you get that one using
Help > Check for Updates
inside your Adobe product? Fingers crossed.
Yes...you have to do the update from with local Acrobat install i.e. start it form the desktop/start menu. Otherwise you will still run into the problem.
thanks jscher2000 that seems to be the solution my add on is finally working its and everything is right with the world.....not really though X3 funny all this time I never thought to do that in fact Iv never even went into Adobe Reader all the time Iv had it >_<;
