I've tracked this issue down to Akamai Netsession Interface. I contacted Akamai, and they directed me to Adobe. Here's the error information that I'm seeing in Event Viewer. Note that I am logging in to Windows with an Administrator account, and I do have permissions for this folder. System error 0. I've also tried on Firefox. Any help?
I'm at a loss. I'm running Sierra It's simply a way for web-busy companies to be able to offload their worries about hardware and distribution - Akamai carries the burden of the server hardware and management, and it makes sense. Companies can focus on what they do best and not have to worry about their internet servers; Akamai can focus on what they do best, that is, serving data to the internet.
One benefit from this is that you are probably getting data from a close-by Akamai server instead of maybe the other side of the world. The reason for file sharing going on between clients is that those common files which are downloaded anyway, even if Akamai wasn't in the background are always common to a particular web presence - such as fixed banners and company logos.
So that in turn reduces the burden on Akamai's servers - where I come from, that's called efficiency. Uninstalling or disabling Akamai could possibly break some applications see the customer list below , and will almost certainly slow your web browsing down.
Remember that Akamai is installed by the program that wants it, not by Akamai themselves, and if a company starts using it then it might suddenly come up as a warning via windows security. This will show you which programs are using it and how much data is actually being used, and from here you have some control over what it is doing. People whining about paying for additional bandwidth, pffffft. The only question for the average user here is what to allow, and no matter how hard I look I can't find a reliable source that actually sensibly answers the question with good logical reasoning.
Personally I don't feel threatened at all by Akamai, I understand what it is doing and why, and their customer list speaks volumes about their responsibilities, so I have allowed both public and private access. Sounds like OnTech is just being cautious. Sounds like you are employed by Akamai. I am blocking! But I still have some problems with NetSession:. Desktop computers with NetSession are doing some of that serving, but the owners of those computers are not being compensated. You may call that efficiency, but some might call it theft.
Granted, if Akamai paid NetSession users, it would probably be a tiny amount of money, since they don't put much strain on each desktop computer, but to me, it's of like I have a corner of my yard that I never use, and my local grocery store starts using it as a vegetable garden.
I may not even notice the garden out there, but on principle, it seems like they should get my OK, and maybe compensate me. In the garden analogy, it's like my grocery store does deliveries, and hidden in the terms and conditions for the delivery service is a paragraph giving them the right to grow veggies in unused portions of my yard.
I'd want to know how the store was ensuring that the produce was safe, since some back yards are contaminated. I'm not happy to know that some of the files I download are coming from computers outside of Akamai's control, and I can't tell which files.
I'm sure Akamai takes steps to ensure the safety of the data, but it's still less secure than data on Akamai's servers. But NetSession turns my desktop into a server without even telling me. Serving as a conduit for other people's files makes my desktop less secure.
