Re: Fake Flash Updater
When I get a flash update notice I go to system preferences and open the flash player and ask it to check for updates. If there is one I install it from that prompt. This seems to be a safe approach as I have not experienced anything malicious.

Re: Fake Flash Updater
You never need to get update notices from unknown sources. Adobe will do that for you:

More bad news about fraudulent Flash Player installers:

If someone launches its contents, the software will check to see if it's running inside a virtual machine — a way researchers often quarantine their subjects.
