I had updates set to 3:00 am for years with no problems. I turned off all updates. I have to manually check for them. I only do that during "free time". I have live.com email that I have to sign into. I have Windows live mail 2011 that I receive my hughesnet email on and it does not check without me opening it. I do not leave my mail accounts or browsers open.
I use Google Chrome as my homepage. My husband uses Hugesnet. His computer is never left on if he is not using it. I do not use microsoft bing.
I have Malwarebytes and I have checked for malware. I have checked for viruses.
I have only seen a data drain happen a few times. Most of the time it is after we have gone to bed or when no one is home.
