It uses clever tricks to fool the malware. The malware is controlled by spam botnets which instruct your computer to spam the world without you even knowing what is going on.īest thing you can do is get the malware detectors and also get something called Spybot Search and Destroy. The upload consists of thousands of emails being sent to hundreds of thousands of victims throughout the internet. Not only that, but even the best, modern malware detector software is not able to detect the latest threats. Recently, I would have said that they are wrong and you are right, but now I realize that malware really does cause high upload usage. If they are separate, how much data does your Exede DAP meter indicate for download? I thought the amount of uploaded and downloaded data on Exede's DAP meter is combined into a single number. Or is your laptop computer connected to your router (by cable or wireless?) and your router connected to your Exede modem by Ethernet cable? Is your laptop computer connected directly to your Exede modem through an Ethernet cable? The data reported by Networx is the amount of data received and sent on my Internet since I last started my computer. This data is normal for browsing or downloading on a single computer connected to a Wildblue modem. What do the Task Manager memory columns mean?įor comparison my Firefox browser running under Windows 7 is showing: It can be sent to many places including the network adapter for uploading or to your computer display. "Write bytes" is the amount of data that has been written in write operations initiated by the process since it began running. The program might not load and run until you attach the computer to the Internet.ĭid a guest use one of your computers around the time the problem appeared? Some of the file sharing sites automatically load the software onto your computer when someone downloads a file. After you have identified the offending computer or computers, use Task Manager to locate the program. You can use the bandwidth monitors other posters mentioned to monitor them.
I think your best course of action is to attach each computer to the Internet one at a time until you identify which computer is uploading the data. Put a check mark in the appropriate boxes and left click "OK." Move the mouse cursor to the edge of the Task Manager Window until a double arrow appears and then resize the window so you can see the information in all of the columns. If these columns are not displayed, then left click on the "View" pull down menu and select "Select Columns." to see a list of columns that you can enable. To locate the offending program under the processes tab, look in the CPU, I/O Read and I/O Write columns for which tasks are active when your computers should be idle.
