For the last several months, our Internet usage has gone 'way up.
We get the 'Net through Verizon with a "Hotspot". I also have a "Jetpack" to take on the road to run my laptop. We're on a 6 gig per month plan, and this month we're over 8 gigs, which will result in $45 in overage fees.
This is the slow time of the year and I hardly use my laptop, so I think we can discount that.
Tracking usage, we need to average less than .2 gigs per day to stay under 6 per month, and our use is erratic. Some days we will be maybe .15 and the next day .3.
I switched our computers from the Hotspot to the Jetpack and that didn't make any difference. I parked my regular computer and revived an old one, and that didn't change anything. So I now parked my wife's computer and put her on my regular one to see if hers might be the problem.
Dunno if it's a virus, trojan, worm, or what. I've run anti-malware software on all of them and there are no critical objects. Before I spend money with a geek, I'd like to know at least which computer is causing the problem, if it is one of the three.
I've nothing against buying anti virus software, but I installed some a year ago and our usage went berzerk until I uninstalled it.
I called Verizon and they were no help, even though they're supposed to analyze your usage. If the objective is to avoid overage fees, they don't want to solve your problem.
