Yes, and superantispyware is what found the adware. No other problems detected. My AVG runs every day.

Re: High Bandwidth Usage

Get a firewall like comodo or zonealarm and keep track of incoming and outgoing traffic

Re: High Bandwidth Usage

Do I need to disable my Windows firewall? And is Comodo compatible with Firefox? I will not use Zone Alarm, it had really bad reviews.

Re: High Bandwidth Usage

My sister's dish is next to mine, and she doesn't seem to have this problem. She is going directly through Wild Blue.

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.
