Dos program may be using Up My Internet allowance

Hello

Recently, I found that my internet allowance went a lot faster than it used to be.  My ISP said that's probably because of some background programs running without my knowledge.  I have not registered with messenger or Skype or another social site etc. (although my wife has a Facebook account, she rarely use the computer).  My use of the computer is very simple - usually emails, checking something (like using the Microsoft Answer Website now) and shopping.  3 months ago I used usually about 400-600 MB per month, but now I use almost 1 G per month.  I know that usage is still very low anyway.  But... is there a way I can check if a background program runs when my PC is turned on?

Advice, please?

Resource monitor is a tool that allows you to analyze the use of the CPU, disk, network, and memory in real time.

You can use the performance tab in the Manager of tasks to see how the CPU of your computer is used by Windows and other programs running on your computer.
