I work in IT at my job, and while watching internet usage, akamai.net seems to show up when usage that looks like spam is being logged through the server. I went to log into my yahoo email account, and akamai.net showed up again, I am more worried about phishing.

They are a high bandwidth Internet web cache. Many companies host their high bandwidth content (images, movies, etc.) on akamai. In fact, 20% of the world’s Internet traffic is delivered over the Akamai platform.
Very likely that some internet advertising is hosted there as well, both the ad and the click-through site.
So access to akamai.net is not conclusive evidence of phishing, nor does it necessarily indicate such.

It's a high speed network. Nothing to be worried about.

You've got a kind of virus called span-ware!
To fix it, update your anti-virus software with brand new databases.
Each new page you open will open a new promo-window.
By the way, I guess you have more virus infected on.
