Hey, my mom got a mobile broadband card so we can get internet where we live. It works fine on my desktop, which im on now...But its different on my laptop. I got a new laptop for chrismas and when i plug the USB card in to get internet the usage goes up even when im not browsing the web. I noticed it was because my computer was installing an update, so I exited out of it and changed the settings so it doesnt automatically update.
How can i see what on my laptop is automatically using my internet bandwith up and make it so nothing besides Internet Explorer uses my data.. We have a 5GB/month data limi. I've only used around 2.5 MB on my desktop since i connected like 10 minutes ago...but on my laptop it would go to 2 MB in 10 seconds when im not even online. And the laptop is on Windows 7
