Akamai taking over system.log

Hi


I have been cleaning up my computer in order to transfer data to a new laptop and I noticed in the system.log that I am getting these messages repeatedly.


Feb 5 22:18:07 Name com.apple.launchd.peruser.501[280] (com.akamai.client.plist[7886]): Bug: launchd_core_logic.c:4734 (25247):13

Feb 5 22:18:07 Name com.apple.launchd.peruser.501[280] (com.akamai.client.plist[7886]): posix_spawn("/Applications/Akamai/loader.pl", ...): No such file or directory

Feb 5 22:18:07 Name com.apple.launchd.peruser.501[280] (com.akamai.client.plist[7886]): Exited with code: 1

Feb 5 22:18:17 Name com.apple.launchd.peruser.501[280] (com.akamai.client.plist[7890]): Bug: launchd_core_logic.c:4734 (25247):13

Feb 5 22:18:27 Name com.apple.launchd.peruser.501[280] (com.akamai.client.plist[7893]): Bug: launchd_core_logic.c:4734 (25247):13


I can't seem to find the akamai file in any of my directories. I have read forums that suggest I download it again and then do a force uninstall from terminal but I can't seem to find the akamai download file. Does anyone have any suggestion for this?


Thanks

Macintosh Uninstall
The simplest and preferred method is to use the Finder to go to the NetSession Interface installation folder, which is normally /Applications/Akamai/, then double-click the uninstaller app. Confirm your decision.

Macintosh Alternative Uninstall
  1. Go to the command line of your computer. In the Application -> Utilities folder, double-left click Terminal.
  2. Go to the Akamai NetSession Interface installation folder, which is normally /Applications/Akamai/
  3. Type the command
    AdminTool uninstall -force
  4. Press the Enter (Return) key to complete the command.


Alternative Method Using Launch Unload
This alternative method may be used, for example, if you deleted AdminTool without running the AdminTool uninstall steps described just above. This uninstall involves required steps of manually stopping the client, then removing the installation directory, the automatic startup script, and the preferences panel.
  1. Go to the command line of your computer. In the Application -> Utilities folder, double-left click Terminal.
  2. Go to the Akamai NetSession Interface installation folder, which is normally /Applications/Akamai/.
  3. Type the following lines, and after typing each line, press the Enter (Return) key to complete the command:
    launchctl unload ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.akamai.client.plist
    rm -rf /Applications/Akamai
    rm -rf ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.akamai.client.plist
    rm -rf ~/Library/PreferencePanes/AkamaiNetSession.prefPane
  4. If the NetSession client isn't stopped when you have gone through these steps, restart your computer to complete the operation.
