prl_updater_ctl trying to connect to websites it shouldn't?

I use outbound network filtering (Little Snitch) on my Mac, and noticed that prl_updater_ctl on occasion tries to connect to websites it shouldn't. This week it tried to connect to:

www.berliner-zeitung.de
www.rundschau-online.de
www.bjpenn.com

None of which I have ever visited. Is parallels using some type of peer to peer for its updates that would be causing this?

 

Hi RobInAz,

Please uninstall and reinstall Parallels Desktop.
