  1. As far as I'm concerned netsession_win.exe is malware regardless of where it came from. I give the following reasons for my determination: 1. Installation without the users knowledge or consent. 2. Utilizing System resources including network bandwidth to upload data to the internet without users consent or knowledge. 3. Runs as a system user from a non admin User account. 4. Runs a service wide process from a non admin User account. 5. Expects users to be bound by their License agreement despite the fact that the user was not aware of the programs installation upon the users computer. This is in effect entering the user into a binding contract without the user being made aware of the terms of the contract. This is unconstitutional and any first year law student would be aware of it. If it walks like a duck, and it quacks like a duck, and it looks like a duck, then it's a duck. Even so, if it installs like male-ware, acts like male-ware, penalizes you like male-ware and sounds like male-ware, then it is male-ware. This program should be uninstalled and the installation incident reported to your State Attorney General's office. There is never a good reason for any company to silently install software on your computer without giving you full disclosure of the installation, what the installations purpose is for, and all the actions that the program will take. Uploading data to the internet counts against your total monthly allotted bandwidth which you are paying your internet provider for. If to much data is uploaded because of amamai's netsession_win.exe, you will be the one paying for the cost of that extra bandwidth, not anamai, not adobe, not autocad, not any of the corporations who are using your bandwidth without your prior approval. If a user installs a program like this and chooses to provide some of their upload bandwidth to the cache, that is not a problem. This program however, installs without the user knowing about it and then starts uploading content that the user did not previously approve. If you think that this is not a big issue I must ask: share kiddy **** much? No? But then, when the police come knocking on your door they will only be concerned with the data that has been uploaded by your computer regardless of whether you knew about it or not. And if a program can start uploading content from your computer without you knowing that it is doing so, that same program can download content to your computer without you knowing that it is doing so. Yep, this is a male-ware. Scott A. Tovey
