   Q: I have a Dell 8700 desktop running Windows 10 connecting to the   
   internet via AT&T wireless hot spot. I use Firefox as my browser. My   
   problem is that something is running in the background with no notice   
   or indication to me. It is consuming my limited data limit. Whatever   
   it is, it repeatedly connects and downloads/uploads more than 500   
   megabytes each time. Nothing shows up in my downloads folder or   
   anywhere else that I can find.
