  • SAFErating from user lokie for file %USERPROFILE%\Definições locais\Application Data\Akamai\netsession_win.exe (Variant: 2880076)

    its fine not a threat

  • THREATrating from user Dylan (Variant: 2822252)

    Doesn't tell you it's being installed on your computer, it does it without asking permission. It randomly uploads data and you have no control over it. Consumes bandwidth. If it fails to uninstall(which reportedly happens), go to msconfig and disable it from launching at system startup. it will still be on your computer but it won't run as long as you don't launch it manually.

  • THREATrating from user Reviewer121 for file %USERPROFILE%\Definições locais\Application Data\Akamai\netsession_win.exe (Variant: 2880076)

    I just let the Windows update to install on my laptop yesterday. Today, when I started my computer, I see this alert. It appears as Microsoft want us to take some action on this?>?>?

  • THREATrating from user Disgusted (Variant: 2822252)

    Install without asking, uses your bandwidth to ease Akamai server loads (p2p style), not malicious, but certainly bloatware, breach of trust to silently install without asking permission and I consider very intrusive, no way to know what its uploading. I want to control what is uploaded from my computer to the net completely, not have it done by somebody else!

  • THREATrating from user magix (Variant: 2822252)

    Yes,it does trying to connect to the internet and trying to download or upload.Doing without prompting the user about the actions it wants to do,it acts like a virus,so I uninstalled it and my computer works the same.
