Hello Ed.   
      
      
    EV> Just after I started using FortKnox I used a 2nd pc to see who is   
    EV> sending these requests to me by entering the IP in at https://ipdb.at   
    EV> and it says Akamai Technologies is the owner of the 23.61.162.70 IP   
    EV> address.   
      
    EV> It isn't Adobe but Akamai, and I'm wondering if the request is for   
    EV> real or not.   
      
     Akamai is a Content Delivery Network.  They have peering agreements with   
   most "big" ISPs, and companies use them to get the updates as close to you as   
   possible.  This also helps make it so there is no single point of failure at   
   adobe, or any other content creator that wants you to download their media (be   
   it software, or audio/video).  Akamai, for the most part, is a "safe" place to   
   download stuff.   
      
      
      
    EV> Except by accident, I don't click on advertisment banners, I hate the   
    EV> fact that I'm tracked by what I have recently looked at on the   
    EV> internet, and get advertisements along the same line as what I've been   
    EV> viewing online.   
      
     If it is a java or flash advertisment in the banner, it doesn't matter if   
   you click it or not.  If it loads, it can still infect you in some way.   
      
    EV> I'm using Firefox with Ad Blocker Plus and just a week ago added   
    EV> No Script to all of the other Extensions I have in FF.   
      
    Remove Shockwave, Flash, and Java from your system too;)  In all   
   seriousiness, I only keep those loaded on my "surf" machine, which is a VM   
   that is on a different subnet than the rest of my toys.  This way it makes it   
   harder to spread if it does get infected (and makes it easier to quarantine.
