Do you run Windows? Do you have automatic updates turned on?
This article might help

I run across this today in one of my news letters. It's a set of steps for removing the download.
 Doesn't do much about the bandwidth they helped themselves to, but at least it lets you remove it from the hard drive.

Back in 2010 it took me only one month after being forced to transfer from dial up to a Satellite provider to learn that automatic updates for windows 7 and any other installed program should be turned off on every computer and not long after that I added a flexible third party firewall for each computer able to watch outgoing  programs and packets allowing the selective blocking of  any program and packets.
So far shutting down all auto updates and having a firewall focused on watching outgoing programs and packets has let me keep enough bandwidth open to actually enjoy the internet and get work done using it.
