    Akamia Net Session is a program listed on my computer. I do not recall downloading this program, nor do I remember it when I first started using this computer, earlier this month. I have read conflicting stories on whether it is safe, or not. What do you think?

    Apple continues to use Akamai as their primary content delivery network for a wide range of applications including software downloads from Apple's Website, QuickTime movie trailers, and the iTunes Store.
    The BBC iPlayer uses Akamai to stream its recorded and live programs.
    Other customers include Facebook, Twitter, AMD, Wedubox, Hilton Worldwide Hotels, Amazon.com (for their dynamic contents), Adobe Systems, Netflix, Cineville, Miles Kimball, J. C. Penney, Yahoo! Blizzard Entertainment, QNet Virtual Office and github.

    Before you uninstall, look over the list and see if you use any of these programs or websites.

    Wow. Thank you. I don't have any Apple products, but I do use Amazon. I guess I better keep it then. I put it in the sandbox earlier, because I wasn't sure what to do with it. It should not have been wanting to connect though, because when the alert went off, I wasn't doing anything that should of made it want to connect. Thank you.

    Stop it, if you are concerned.

    I just kept it in the sandbox. I did not delete it. It may be needed, but it should be okay if it is in the sandbox. Thanks for helping.
