I bought an Huawei HSPA+ Mobile Broadband dongle from 3 and used it from 14th October. There was an alarming spike of 595MB on the 20th Oct and now an unbelievable 4GB on Oct 26th. I reckon I used less than 100MB, so how can I check if this was actually downloaded? I use XP Home with SP 3.

    The site is current unavailable because of essential maintenance work, but I'll check in the morning. My monthly allowance is 5GB, so I expect they'll be telling me the extra half GB has already cost me £51.20!

    First do a FULL virus scan...
    Also their has been reports of "iLividSetupV1[1].exe" being a virus/malware!!
    By the looks of it you've tried to download that file a few days beforehand! That might be the cause of your problem...

    Could your PC have possibly downloaded some OS updates or a service pack?

    Unlikely. XP's latest SP is 3 and updates aren't 4GB. Perhaps a game?
