When I download the current Adobe flash player installer from the Adobe website using Safari 6.0.1 under OSX 10.8.2, I end up with a file named 'install_flash_player_osx.dmg.mdlp' in my downloads folder. I am curious as to why the .mdlp extension is being added to the disk image containing the flash player installer, which has always terminated with the .dmg extension in the past.
The only program which uses the .mdlp extension that I am aware of is matlab; matlab is installed on this machine and it is the program the OS would like to use to open the file. I have not seen OSX, or any component thereof, replace or append file extensions in the past and I am able to download .dmg files from other websites without this phenomenon occurring.

You will be prompted if you really want to run the "Install Adobe Flash Player" program. Read the prompt carefully to ensure that you are actually running the file you just downloaded. Check the file name and the date and time it was downloaded. When you are ready, click the "Open" button.
Either of the first two options presented is fine. The first one ("Allow Adobe to install updates") means that any newer versions of Flash will automatically download and install themselves.
Some users may be a bit hesitant about letting software automatically download new versions and install themselves, so they may instead choose "Notify me to install updates". In this case, Flash Player will still check for updates to itself so that you still are aware that there is a new version, but it won't automatically install the updates; you will be prompted to easily download and install it with your consent.
However, the other key reason why Adobe ended support for Flash may have been because of the abundance of fake Flash Player downloads that had become one of the most common ways for harmful code to arrive on Macs.
Keep in mind that uninstalling the Flash plugin from the Mac does not effect sandboxed Flash Player plugins like what is implemented in the Google Chrome web browser. However, this removal process does uninstall Flash from Safari, Firefox, old versions of Chrome, and throughout Mac OS X in general. The way that Chrome handles Flash through a sandboxed plugin within the app is fairly safe, plus it automatically updates, so it makes it perhaps an ideal way to keep Flash around on a Mac if you do need to occasionally use the plugin or player for various websites. Users of Chrome can also choose to selectively allow Flash to run only when allowed by using the excellent Click-To-Play feature that is built into modern versions of the Google web browser.
The advantage is that webserver logs show that no flash is installed when I visit a site, and higher traffic like that will help encourage use of HTML5 alternatives to flash. Since ClickToFlash reports itself as a flash-compatible player, that will not have the same effect.
PPAPI is the Pepper Plugin API within Google Chromium that allows plugins to interact with the browser. As Google Chrome has Adobe Flash Player built-in, a separate Flash installer is not necessary. The new PPAPI plugin installer will allow Opera and Chromium-based applications to use Flash Player. Its presence on the enterprise distribution page also means that PPAPI Flash Player is now available for licensed distribution. While the usefulness of the PPAPI installer might be limited to most, its ability to be distributed could be very important to some developers. The plugin and content debugger has previously been available on the Developer downloads page of the Adobe Flash Player Support Center.
This newly re-engineered malware purports to be a legitimate Flash Player installer, but it has the capability to surreptitiously download and install additional unwanted packages containing adware or spyware.
The company behind this malware has chosen a rather generic name for itself, FlashDownloader, and they claim in their license.txt file that you can contact them at [email protected] The domain flashdownloader[.]pro was registered on June 8, 2020, just days before the malware was first observed in the wild.

The versatility of Adobe Flash player for Mac is second to none, with animations that can incorporate both text and vector graphics. These animations typically do not take up large amounts of disk space and the contents of Flash animations can also be compressed to reduce their file sizes further.
