It appears to be a Flash Player installer. Did you download a Flash Player Update? Flash Player Updates should only be downloaded either via System Preferences > Flash Player > Check for Updates or from the Official Adobe website. Others that you are prompted to download from pop-ups are usually malware.

In either case you can safely eject it.

If you suspect that you may have installed malware, download and run Malwarebytes. Malwarebytes was developed by one of our own colleagues here in ASC and is about the most proven anti-malware software for Mac.

It looks like the update was installed automatically, it's probably OK. But I keep my preferences set to "Notify me to install updates" as a precaution so I can check before install.
