  1. Data hog. What, exactly, is it loading?


    What do I have to do to prevent this pig of a system to NOT download 10Mb every ten minutes when I'm on a chat board? I don't game, I don't watch videos, I go to chat boards. I've blocked as much spyware as I can and the pig is eating up my 6Gb allowance where on W8.1, it wouldn't eat 2G in 30 days. What do I have to do, short of installing Linux and waving bye bye to Microsolft?
