Please help....:

Go to Resonance Monitor(in task manager in Vista and 7) and click on the Network. Then see all the processes which are running in Network activity.
If there is something that is consuming much and you do not know that click on "End Process" there. I recommend this to use when you start the Computer and Internet .Wait and watch for 2 min. as there is no app. runnnig at that time.

By this you will able to know who is consuming your internet.

You may use a good firewall. Full system scan may also help.

If you are not using any Antivirus then try trial version of Norton as It can able to remove all viruses.

What do you mean by 90 million,

90000000 Bytes = 90000000/1024 KB = 90000000/(1024*1024) MB = 86 MB.

I recommend you to use a single browser as It`s cache will help you to minimize data traffic. The best one is to use Opera in turbo Mode and set its history to 400 MB and also set to check the images after 1 week. By this way you can minimize the traffic if you are using a limited broadband plan.
