Re: Hitting the FAP limit every morning
said by grohgreg  :Alternatively, you've picked up a trojan. Have you used Windows Explorer to search for any large files with a creation date that matches your suspected download hours? //greg// I did try using Explorer but I couldn't find the problem file.
My daughter downloaded LimeWire recently and I wonder if it may have infected our computer. I uninstalled it this morning.
I think at this point I'm going to give up and take the PC to a local company and have them see what they can do. |

| Thanks! I'm not very technically inclined but I'll give this a try once I get home.
After all, what's the worst that could happen  |

| Have you even considered the possibility that the Corporation may not be accurately reporting your usage and that they may "stretch" the FAP periods somewhat to "punish" customers who use the service to it's full contracted capacity?
While an unidentified process on you computer may be well at fault, I am surprised that you are so eagerly assuming the blame and not even considering a problem on the other side of the corporate curtain.... |

| Because you've described your connection as FAP'd, I assume you've already verified that on your usage page. You can also see the FAP condition (yes/no) in the modem's advanced statistics. If you haven't done either, now's the time for a looksee.
