Re: High Bandwidth Usage
I had the Wildblue Pro package for about 5 years with a network share for both my wife and me and never exceeded the usage limits.
If I remember correctly, you can log onto your account and see the current usage for that month...that's what I'd do a couple of times a day and see what's being used for what you're doing. If the usage spikes on a certain day, you'll know what you were doing for that time instead of trying to remember a month later.
Next thing is to make sure someone isn't connected to any wireless routers you may have if you have really close neighbors. Someone could be using your bandwidth without you knowing it.
The daily check should tell you that if it's happening. For example, you know you weren't on the internet but for a short period of time on a certain day, didn't download anything, no media streaming but your usage that day is high. That would indicate to me that someone or something is using your bandwidth. Next step would be to completely disconnect your computer for a day (you could spend the time in prayer and fasting) and then check the usage the next day. If it's minimal, then probably no hacking into your router, it's something in your computer. Swap computers with your sister...that could help find the trouble.
Stuff like that could help pinpoint it.

Prax, you know I am a dummy. But I am willing to try almost anything.

I really wouldn't know where to start to do all of that.

Re: High Bandwidth Usage
I haven't used comodo in a while but it shows you active connections. You can also, when you see your network icon showing activity, go to command prompt and type netstat
