I wasn't doing anything other than reading one email. I shut down my browser and it kept going up until I disconnected the broadband.

Later that day I went to the library and that's when it went up 70MB in 10 minutes, though it stabilised and went pretty much as normal for the next 1.5-2 hours.

Since being on wireless I have no idea how much it's using. I did a full Norton scan (which found a bit and fixed, not sure what though) and Malwarebytes that didn't find anything.

At no point did I notice the performance being affected, it was only when I could see the usage.

Oh and no worries - I really appreciate your help with this - thanks a lot.
Weird. Try safe mode. At least it will give you a bench mark for data usage.

And how do I check it? Sorry for the questions, but this is all new to me.

No worries. Get into Safe Mode... and then read the data usage the same way you did before. Or do you no longer have that capability?

It was through the mobile broadband, so when I logged in I kept the main screen open which showed usage/speed etc by day/month etc.

This might not necessarily be anything malicious at all and could actually be something simple like Windows Update just downloading updates (assuming you have set it to automatic). The pattern of the downloading would match that as well and 70MB isn't necessarily that much if multiple updates were downloaded at the same time. I would check Windows Update and see whether any updates were downloaded/installed around the time you experienced the higher data usage.

Possible. Strange that since I noticed it going up (it was quite sudden), it had always gone up significantly every time I logged on. Furthermore, I had been using mobile broadband for nearly three months and this never happened previously.

And also - think I mentioned it somewhere above - whenever I shut down my computer since then it had multiple updates each time. That doesn't usually happen. However, when I shut down after doing my scans it didn't have any updates.

Anyway, I'm shutting down so will try to look into all this again tomorrow and come back to give an update. Thanks.
