Suddenly my computer goes wild and I'm seeing tons of network activity with this address and variations of it always saying amazonaws

also getting alot of these staticakamaitechnologies addresses and cloudfront?

I deleted my Amazon cloud player just because I wanted to stop these amazonaws connections - it feels almost like an attack

Also alot of lga 15s45 type addresses - what are these connections and how do I stop them?

Thanks.

Considering that AmazonAWS is one of the largest cloud computing domains out there that isn't surprising.

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:35.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/35.0 and Shockwave Flash 16.0 r0

Has that computer been sitting in storage some where for a couple of years? Not very security conscious to be running old applications like that.

Don't know what you're talking about - and no - its been getting used for a few years though. I'm guessing the connections I saw with cloud had nothing to do with the Amazon cloud player I deleted though. And I run Eset, spybot, malawarebytes & rootkit - all clear.

You need to update to the latest Firefox 47 version and the latest Flash 22 version.
