Hola sells access to its VPN (You, the user) to anyone with the money to pay for it. So when you install that plugin, or worse, their executable, you've basically opened your home computers to attack, and if that isn't enough, your computer will be used to route spam, viruses, jackets and people surfing for child pornography, and it will appear as if it is coming from your house.
