When I am using this and other video downloaders on other browsers, I also have adBlock Plus and uBlock Origin running. In the past few years, I have only had a virus/malware issue once or twice, and each time, the video downloader I was using (I have three) would alert me that the file contains malware, and it then deletes the file.
I would recommend that you install both adBlock Plus and uBlock Origin and see if the virus/malware issue goes away.
Good luck!
