Avast FW shouldn't in fact be reporting these, those might be retransmited packets or RST packets that would normally be part of the traffic (or happen after the traffic was terminated). Most probably these are packets belonging to connections that have just been terminated. Johnny, what you see are packets that are part of the outgoing connections from you computer to Akamai. Quote from: polonus on May 21, 2013, 03:11:30 PM Paste the following into your HOSTS file in \Windows\System32\Drivers\etc It does this during idle time on the computer, so maybe that is why people are reporting high CPU usage during idle time. I will bet that millions of other users do have it installed, and probably don't know Akamai is using their computers for storage, and downloading to other computers. I don't have Net Session on my computer, or if I do, I can't find it. If the software or media publisher uses the feature and if you enable it, NetSession can also use a small amount of your upload bandwidth to enable other users of the NetSession Interface to download pieces of the publisher's content from your computer. It is used by many software and media publishers to deliver files or streams to you. The Akamai NetSession Interface is a secure application that may be installed on your computer to improve the speed, reliability, and efficiency for downloads and streams from the Internet. In Avast Network Connections it is allowed a connection to the programs it updates on the normal service ports. It provides downloading and update services for Microsoft, Mozilla, Adobe, and many more companies. Akamai is a huge company with over 250,000 servers.
