data sent is much higher than data received

Umm, that's normal? Umm... @BudMan?

I would check MSConfig to see what you have running on start up, and also check task manager to see what is using your CPUs.  I see you have Norton Internet Security installed.  My money is that is why you have issues, Norton is notorious for calling home....alot.  

 

Hope that helps.

Meant to say "not normal"... Was too late to see that. I can't edit the post anymore...

VPN:

Sent: 5 million

Received: 350k

 

So, what is VPN used for?

 

You are uploading more than 10 times what you are downloading which is not part of any background network protocol handshake.

 

Ideas:

 

- you are sharing a hard drive to other computers on the private network and they are using the information as intended

 

- you are running a Torrent program and have left all your downloads sitting in the torrent directory to be forever continously shared with the world

 

- you have a trojan or virus that is sending information somewhere

 

- you are accessing your home computer when you are away and have fogotten you do this

 

- you have given similar access to friends or family and forgot about it

 

out of ideas - something has to be at the other end of the pipe and receiving that data so if nothing comes to mind, fire up a network monitor and just find out...
