So, after tearing my hair out and seeing that my usage numbers continue to be grossly beyond anything that is representative of my internet usage, I finally discovered a "backdoor.0access" trojan on the computer. Have not had any such issues before. I use Malwarebytes Pro and it has always been very good. It was their Malwarebytes Anti-Rootkit which finally discovered the trojan. So, I've done a bit of reading on it - does anybody know if this could be the cause of my inflated internet usage? It definitely sounds like it could be, but I'm no expert. In any case, it's now apparently gone, and I will just have to check in on my usage report again tomorrow and see if I can notice any positive change in my usage.
