downloading...

My broadband provider tells me to cut downn downloading large files. According to their records that I download up to 100gb a week which I tell them I do not have enough space on my computer to download such a huge amount of data. I wonder if there is any way to check .

Thanks

Tom

Is your wifi "open"?

Over in our Network forum we note that WEP is insecure and more. Also, spyware can install malware that uploads and downloads without you knowing.

Be sure to check your wifi security and install a firewall on your PCs.
