Re: Usage depleted overnight. All updates set during free time.
Does anyone get the point that my router meter rolled over to zero and hughesnet meter refilled to 96% yesterday morning at 7:00? My glass wire meter started with some usage because it rolled over at midnight and data was used during free time. At 7:00 am I had closed everything except my hughesnet meter. I watched it drop again from the 96% to the 86% and took screen shots of all 3 meters. The router, no usage, glasswire, 36 MB (it restarted at midnight and I did use the computer during free time), Hughesnet meter, 72MB. (at most is should have read 20 MB because I have 500 MB if the meter refills to 100%. I had 96%) My point 3 meters and 2 agree. My router and Glasswire. Google Chrome: Advanced settings: Continue running background apps when Google Chrome is closed. Box not checked. Ron, I will see if I can find more information about my McAfee.5.1KViews0likes0CommentsRe: Usage depleted overnight. All updates set during free time.
Ron, I think if you double click on my screen shots they will enlarge for you to see. This is the history that I got from McAfee for this morning. It all looks the same. One block after another from similar addresses.7.5KViews0likes0CommentsRe: Usage depleted overnight. All updates set during free time.
When my status meter is full, it says 500 MB. If i use less that 50% it rolls over to 100%. If I use more that 50% it goes up 50% plus the left over from the day before. If there is nothing left over, I start the day with 50% which is 250 MB Not sure how to do the McAfee history log. I will check it out later. I'm out of time for now.7.5KViews0likes0CommentsRe: Usage depleted overnight. All updates set during free time.
At 7:00 am this morning my status meter refilled to 96% and my router traffic meter rolled over to zero. I was not on line. I opened my status meter and watched it drop from my desktop. I took screen shots of the router, the status meter and glasswire. I was on line during free time. You will notice that on glasswire since it starts a midnight. Notice the date and time are on all of the screen shots. I left for work at 7:45. No one has been home today. I took the next screenshots showing usage while no one was home.7.5KViews0likes0CommentsRe: Usage depleted overnight. All updates set during free time.
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.7.4KViews0likes0CommentsRe: Usage depleted overnight. All updates set during free time.
Same information over and over. Videos do not run automatically on Facebook and I have a wifi password that is 24 characters long! Iphones do not connect without that password. Why is there a difference in the MB's used on the Hugesnet meter and Glasswire. I understand that Glasswire only says what is used on this computer, but still I can't download as fast as it was draining. I do not have thermostats, refrigerators or tvs that connect to wifi. Our computer habits have not changed.7.1KViews0likes0Comments
