Hi guys
Got a message on my new Studio stating,
"Akamai" can damage your computer, move it to the bin

Tried that, didnt work?

and what is Akamai? I don't know where it even came from

macOS detected Malware in the app "Akamai" and it's directing you to delete the app. If you can't find an app named Akamai, maybe you have a browser extension by that name. Delete it.

macOS includes a technology called Gatekeeper, that's designed to ensure that only trusted software runs on your Mac.

Akamai is a major content delivery network, it facilitates faster connection for various online services and apps. It’s a bit intrusive but not dangerous.

Hi there,
At first it didnt go? Took a long time, when it was in the bin then deleted
