Build Identifier: 

Adobe issued a security bulletin for a critical vulnerability that exists in Adobe Flash Player 10.0.45.2 and Adobe Reader and Acrobat 9.x http://www.adobe.com/support/security/advisories/apsa10-01.html

Since these are the latest versions the Plugin Check page shows that the plugins are OK even though they have a critical vulnerability. 

I think that in such cases something along the lines of "Up to date but vulnerable" should be shown and the user could be advised to disable the plugin until an update is released
