think so
just found out that when I close my browser “msn-explorer”, avast isn’t uploading anymore
could it be that the problem is in msn-explorer
If data is uploaded there, yes.
“msn explorer” combines a browser with “Live” features (hotmail, live messanger…). This means that there “must” be some bandwith constantly used, even if you are not directly using it (you are not currently chatting, but the system needs to be active anyway).
Avast “may” be checking the data being transferred, but Avast itself is not generating the transfer.
BTW, to test your bandwith with speedtest.net, you should “exit” any “live” service, any chat method, any social communications, any browser, any FTP, any “toolbar”… The only active connection should be one simple plain web browser window with the speedtest.net site on one only tab. Please note that “exit” is not the same as “minimize” nor “close”.
think I found it. I deleted avast and now all upload is going on msn-explorer. so something or someone is gone into msn-explorer. I deleted the program and installed it again, but the upload keep going on
so I may have to stop using msn-explorer
so a big sorry to avast for thinking that the problem was in avast
Does the msn explorer with all that ‘live stuff’ include an online backup/sync?
NP olifant.
If you need further help, let us know.
I don’t think this person is complaining about speed. They are complaining that something is using all bandwidth. It looks like avast to them. Since avast is the local proxy, then there might be a malware infection using all that bandwidth.
that is right, it is not the speed but the banduse
well, I found out that it is comming from msn-explorer, I see all other ip’s who are downloading
and because avast is checking all traffic I first tought it was avast, but it was avast tracking all the traffic from other people who somehow are using my bandwith with msn-explorer.
just don’t know how thay are doing it, so I can’t stop it. only thing I can do is not open msn-explorer, and the traffic stops
