Asus E1-531 laptop data usage goes absolutely bonkers when there are no programs open and laptop rebooted. I'm talking over 250 B/sec for svchost.exe (netsvcs) as shown on the resource monitor which means a couple of hundred mb/hr download doing nothing except using up my data allowance at a rate of knots.. Then you can do nothing different, reconnect and it's fine, for a while, using 3-4000 B/sec even when using the internet, then later, off it goes again.
I've done a complete virus/malware scan, as I thought maybe my lappy was being used as a bot. This picked up a few minor problems but not cured the excessive data usage.
