MD stands for Message Digest algorithm.
MD5 and SHA
MD5 isn't a encryption algorithm, it's a hashing algorithm. Encryption will 'hide' the meaning of the encrypted text, while MD5 will 'add up' all the text to come up with a number. This number can be compared to another time this file was 'added up', to provide a simple kind of check to see if the text has been changed or if it is the same.

The value you get from a MD5 function is the fingerprint of a block of data (any type of file, even programs can be considered data), it allows you to confirm that your copy of the data is the same as the original (no corruption), because slight changes to the input of the MD5 algorithm will produce a different string.
In web development (most commonly PHP/MySQL), the two most common hashes are SHA-1 and MD5. Windows application developers have access to a wider array of hashes, including SHA-1, MD5, SHA356, and more.
