netsession_win forced installation.

[Requimatic]

Why is the DDO Launcher suddenly trying very, very hard to install this random software to update? Whether it's safe or not, I'd like to know why it's forcefully installed without permission whatsoever.

I love the typical DDO forums melodramatic "a step too far" I can almost hear the 'dun dun DUNNNN'.

What settings do you want to change ?
( there is basically not much you can change in Netsession... And you specifically cannot change how it starts and when it starts [at boot like a service ] )

Not even from the Services Applet? (Not at home right now so cannot verify).

Just saying that people, and Akamai, are saying to go to the control panel to find the settings. Not finding it.


Edit: Found the option after digging through file folders. Still not seeing the control panel option. Either way still have what I was looking for. Put a shortcut to the desktop for quick shutting down when needed. Also, found a text document labeled "guid". It talks about your computer being assigned a number that only your computer and Akamai will know. It also says deleting or changing the number could interfere with what ever downloads you are trying to get and that the Akamai "program" (term used very lightly) could go crazy. Wondering if changing the number will protect our private info but still allow us to access the game.
