Quite often my computer gets hot and the CPU fan whirs loudly, when I’m not really doing anything demanding.
I can see a process netsession_mac_2fa687c which is using 78% of CPU.
What is that process and is it safe to kill it?
I also had this process running. Killed it, but it was coming back automatically.
It is part of the Akamai download manager used by Adobe products.
You can uninstall it using the “Akamai NetSession Uninstaller” in /programs/akamai
Adobe says it’s safe to uninstall: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/847373
