When fpsaud opens it will check the current version and the available version for the presence of an updated Flash player version, and will then install it if needed. This causes the system launcher (launchd) to open a small program called "fpsaud" (likely standing for Flash Player Silent Auto Updater) which is located within the Adobe Flash install manager utility. The automatic updating works by using a launch daemon called "" located in the /Library/LaunchDaemons/ folder.

By default it will have Flash automatically download and install the latest version. When installed, the updater will request that you choose from the 3 autoupdate options. The update behavior options can be changed in the Flash Player system preferences pane. If you choose the option to updates automatically, Flash will check for updates on a daily basis and install them in the background. When you download and install Flash 11.3, the installer will offer you to have Flash automatically update, only notify you of available updates, or never check for updates. To tackle this and work to keep most people keep up-to-date with Flash, Adobe has implemented this new background-updating feature.

#MAC ADOBE FLASH PLAYER UPDATE VIRUS CODE#
Terminal then opened up and ran some code, which I've saved, I'll just paste the code it ran right here. So I opened it and when in installer window popped up I (stupidly) without even looking just double clicked on the icon which was titled "mand" (see pics). So I was cleaning out my downloads folder when I came across an "Adobe Flash Player.dmg", I assumed it must have just been some sort of update when I needed a flash player for something on the browser.
