Windows is up to date
The monitoring programme (NetLimiter pro) basically shows what is downloading and when, it also keeps statistics so I can check back, hour by hour, programme by programme, I think I was reading it wrong when I said ashwebv was scanning for no reason
WebShield does not start any connection and does not take any quota.
Some program is starting an http traffic and the traffic is being scanned locally by WebShield.
OK thanks for straightening that out for me, I think I was reading it wrong
I have only been monitoring for two weeks, since my last lot of quota got eaten
What seems to happen is when I am back up to broadband speed my data usage increases dramatically, then I get shaped (slowed down) and it's back to normal(ish) usage
So atm I am only speculating it is actually Avast (but it seems to be)
A couple of days ago setup began downloading, I stopped it at 66mb because the internet was virtually unusable while it was downloading (because I'm shaped dammit!)
In the two weeks of monitoring setup has downloaded 70 odd mb, 66mb in one hit
This seems a lot to me for two weeks of updates (especially considering it has also used 4mb in that time)
forjet is looking into it, he seems to think it has something to do with server behaviour
But still, 70 odd mb of updates in 14 days seems a lot of updating to me
A new month starts for me again in 5 days, then I will be back up to speed and keeping a wary eye on things
Thanks for everyone's help and input so far
