Laptop sending many bytes. Help?

[EmoZilla]

Yesterday I upgraded to a modem with wifi built in. I check my wireless connection activity and from time to time It spikes up in bytes. Yesterday it was past 1billion bytes received in a short time. Should i be worried?

It depends. Were you using the internet a lot?

After about 10 minutes It'll spike up to huge numbers( millions and billions) Mostly in the received section. All i did was browse a few sites. I wonder will my internet provider charge me extra or something? And what causes the spike? Right now the activity is at 11,000,000 sent and 320,000,000 received. I haven't been doing much.

Run a virus scan with MalwareBytes. That seems to crazy to be true.

check if someone else is using your wifi

This is what I got from Malwarebytes.

Besides that, the results of the scan were clean. But my bytes are still high.

Well, in 19 minutes from startup and only going to 3 sites, I have 3.5m received and 1.7m sent. I'd say unless you're experiencing poor performance or low connectivity, it's no problem.
