Windows 7 downloading unnecesaarily from internet, need help

[rsk11584]

The computer is brand new compaq machine just 3 days old having windows 7.

Today we got BSNL BB connection and till now it downloaded around 100MB of data, we are having Avast free AV installed and I have now disabled security and automatic updates. In windows 7 went to resource monitor and saw that sometimes avast is downloading but major of time the program svchost.exe netsvcs is downloading something. As we have limited plan we should limit and keep a watch on daily usage the program netmonitor is not compatible with windows 7, but now im monitoring using shareplus bandwidth meter, someone advise me how to stop these downloads so that if I dont surf internet the data wont get transferred much.

goto run (press Windows + R) and type "services.msc" goto updates and change its value to manual or disabled. Install DU meter to track every byte coming in or going out of your computer ! Enable your Antivirus update and set it to manual or automatic as it is necessary to update your virus database to keep the system protected .

Seems like 'Auto update' is enabled on your system, better to turn it off
