Re: Hitting the FAP limit every morning
Let me understand this then - you put the modem back online Sunday, and the mystery download occurred again overnight to the point you were FAP'd this morning. Correct?
If so, it sounds like a download manager that doesn't think it got a complete file - and keeps attempting to download the same one over and over till it does. 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?

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.
