I killed the Autodesk update manager and trouble are gone. Used System configuration to disable all Autodesk apps from starting on boot.

Phone Home (v. int.), 1. The act of checking in with one's family (that is, entities derived of the same source as oneself). 2. A good thing for E.T. 3. A bad thing for time-critical software running on hardware that is disconnected from the internet.
