Download the s/w called X-netstat to check which program is doing the data transfer. U can block or kill that connection using X-netstat.May be U got spyware. So also try a good anti spyware.

You probably have spyware / viruses on your computer... get the appropriate software and clean it up. And how the hell can it download 900Mb in 5 hours?

900MB of Windows Update? I think not. As vebmetal points out.. 900MB in 5 Hrs on 128Kbps? you can't even do that much on 256Kbps.

its seems to be a virus / spyware problem..... I recommend AVG free antivirus, and Avg Anti-spyware , do a deep scanning of your system.im not sure how good is "Zone Alarm Interent Security Suite" `s Antivirus engine.
