Adobe security bulletins and advisories list headings = "originally posted" and "last updated".

Does the heading "last updated" mean the last time my computer was updated?

'originally posted' usually means when the document was first posted

'last updated' usually means there was some modification to the document and it was updated after being 'originally posted'

Which, bulletin or advisory, are you referring to, specifically? I looked at the most recent Flash Player Security Bulletin, Adobe Security Bulletin, and I don't see a 'last updated' date. I see a 'last published' date, but not 'last updated'

The link above is the page I’m referring to….does the “last updated” heading specifically refer to when my computer was updated? If not, do you know where I can go to see the updates specific to my laptop?

The 'last updated' column refers to when the document was last updated.

This page lists Security Bulletins and Advisories for all Adobe products. It doesn't query your system to find out what products are installed and when the last time a particular product was updated on your system.

If not, do you know where I can go to see the updates specific to my laptop?

The updates specific to your laptop would depend on which products you have installed. Most installed products are listed in either the Control Panel (Windows) or Applications directory on Mac. On Windows you can look in the Control Panel list of installed products. On Mac you can look in the Applications directory. Both of these have date installed/last modified.

Which Adobe product, specifically, are you inquiring about?

For Flash Player, you can also go to the following:

Windows: Control Panel\All Control Panel Items > Flash Player > Updates tab
- If you don't see the Flash Player item in the Control Panel, enter Control Panel\All Control Panel Items in the address field, or change to view by 'small icons'.
Mac: System Preferences > Flash Player > Updates tab
