Computer trying to connect to redswoosh.akadns.net

We use bsecure (Www.bsecure.com) for our internet filter and AVG free version for antivirus.  When I upgraded to the newest version of bsecure, I started to get a warning popup that says "Site:redswoosh.akadns.net Reason: File sharing, Dynamic."  So there's something in my computer that's trying to access this website.  (My guess is that it's been there awhile and the new version of bescure has a new feature to show what it's blocking.)

I ran the AVG scan, TrendMicro's online scan and fsecure's scan.  Neither found anything very wrong.

Thanks for any help that can be given.

Have you tried other anti-malware?
I'd strongly recommend a scan with A-Squared - the free version should be fine:
http://www.emsisoft.com/en/software/antimalware/
The server is server of Akamai Technologies which are often used for dowloading updates of software. A lot of SW vendors used this service. Also some VoIP sofwares can used it. Run in command prompt (Start CMD) command
netstat -b -a and you see what process is making this connection
show me the result of command please.

Thanks for the very quick response.  Here are the results of running netstat.  I'll also try the malware scan.

I emailed bsecure tech support.  It sounds like bsecure is blocking itself from accessing its update website.  Is that correct?

I got a hold of bsecure tech support and they suggested uninstalling AKAMAI Netsession.  When I did that, the problem went away.

Thanks for the help.  I really appreciate it.
