Okay, how do you stop the automatic updating?

Go into the Windows "Control Panel," select "Windows Update."

On the left side of the window, select "Change Settings."

Under "Important Updates," click on the combo-box and select "Check for updates but let me choose whether to download and install them."

Thank you! For the last few months, I have been getting outrageous data overuse charges. I have broadband wireless and changed from 5 gigs to 10 gigs but I am still going over every month.

I thought it was too much watching of speeches and hearings (I don’t have a TV). At the Verizon Corporate Store in my neighborhood, they said your usage goes way up when you use Facebook.

I just did what you said and hope this money drain stops!
