Started checking my usage more carefully since it seemed TCL thought I was using much more than I thought. Discovered that at about 2am each day there is around that time upwards of 800Mb downloads taking place! Since I do have PC's on all the time (my server and PVR) thought it could be a trojan, virus or something.
I also have wireless and out of interest changed the WEP code in case it was cracked but the downloads were still there the following day. Unlikely there is somebody in my neighbourhood stealing wireless given it only occurs at 2am.
Haven't been able to isolate it to a machine yet (can only one of two) but out interest installed Zonalarm on both to see if any application would try to access the Internet that was not authorised (ZA would ask for permission). No alarms but still the usage was there. No virus on either machine that AVG could detect but not sure AVG can detect trojans.
Last night turned off the cable modem before hitting the sack. Usage dropped but still 8Mb at 2am which I would have thought was impossible.
Next step I guess is to ask TCL for network logs but I am not sure they can do that.
Anybody with any ideas? Is there some tool I could download to access network traffic stats?
Thanks
