#Parallels toolbox download video install
These malware-fraught days, they really should know better than to drive-by install a piece of software - without even a sign of provenance - even if they at least had the grace not to activate it.Īnyway, back down to DEFCON 5. So for that I guess I'll grant Parallels one slap on the wrist. Now I can't be 100% sure that I wasn't asked a generic "do you want us to install browser extensions" question when Toolbox was being installed (even it was a mere side effect of the thing I actually was consciously installing - Parallels Desktop itself), but I'm 99% sure of it. So overall not the sneaky malware I wondered that it might be. Turns out, as per commented suggestion by James Singhal, it's a browser extension associated with a component of Parallels Toolbox. Nothing I'd expect to have a sneaky video downloader hanging off it.

And I certainly have installed some apps since after my clean Mojave install, so maybe the Download Video thing piggy-backed in off one of those? But most of what I've installed is fairly well-known, standard stuff - MS Office, Emacs, and the like. So that leads me to conclude that the installation of certain apps may also involve installation of Safari extensions. However, it says it came as part of Parallels Desktop and I did install that. I did notice one other inactive extension - "Open in Internet Explorer" - that I also did not explicitly install myself. I certainly didn't knowingly do it myself its box in the Extensions manager was unchecked) but I've no idea how it got there. It claims to be version 1.0.0 and that it "Downloads video from a webpage". Color me on the fence.After a very recent install-from-scratch of Mojave, I was installing a Safari extension and noticed one already there called "Download Video". In addition, compared to the cost of all the other apps I use, the price of the tools is great, if you don't already have a big investment in comparable apps.

Maybe my confusion about the tools derives from the fact that they are included with a Parallels 12 upgrade, which makes the upgrade a good deal if you need the tools as well. However, if you haven't acquired a similar collection, perhaps these will appeal to you. Then again, I'm a longtime Mac user so I already have apps to do almost everything Parallels Tools can do. I just have an aversion to subscription software. And given the number of tools involved, maybe the subscription is a way to keep the price down, or to obscure the ongoing cost of ownership. Or maybe these tools aren't for a VM at all, but are an independent product for the Mac.

So I cannot use them in any case unless I upgrade OS X. I actually use Parallels 11-in OS X 10.9.5 Mavericks. No mention of which versions, besides Parallels 12, these tools work with. Well, maybe it's cheaper than a Parallels 12 upgrade if all you need are the tools. Note: price is for a yearly subscription.
