High Usage, Old PC and Modem Dial-up broadband, La...

Hello , AVG keeps popping up on Firefox with one of the latest usage being over 300mb+, when simply having 4 or so tabs open. High Usage, I have Old PC windows XP and Modem Dial-up broadband, Latest Firefox Browser 15.0.1 (sept2012)
Also netgear Hub Sister uses as wireless I somethimes use with Network cable on my Laptop, Windows 7 again Firefox.
Tried talking to BT customer service but no solution.
Whilst as a amatuer photographer and massive music fan I could be on Fb, Youtube, MySpace, msn all at the same time, msn is Bonkers crazy on flash and adverts etc, and I use an AD remover for FB.
I have tried disabling add-ons and Plug ins on firefox, but this year have had prob 3 or 4 Java, adobe Flash, and Firefox updtaes thus far. i am sure this background stuff could be eating up my usage, yet a non tech user cannot possibly do anything about this.
I post many pics on some sites and looking to do my own web site but if Uploading my images (which i reduce) and viewing others downloading etc I know that would be part of the usage, but I only started getting the Usage Allowance emails in May or June 2012, there was No issue the previous years with BT but Now it is an issue.
But I am pretty sure I was on Unlimited broadband but BT has put me on Option 1 10gb.
This is more of an info post to try and locate what can be done to reduce the Usage allowance
Thanks

Thanks a lot for the reply.
I installed the update, and I think the '..\services.exe' issue might have overcome. (NOT 100% sure though)
But the machine still, Hangs
Or, Auto Shutdown occurs with the msg. '.. the process lsass.exe has terminated unexpectedly'
Let me elaborate the Hang situation a bit, this is very new to my experience. I can launch some programs like Notepad.exe, but when forefox or IE does not run. TaskManager icon appears at the system tray, but the program interface does not appear, as if TaskManager is running while minimized.
And when i try to shutdown the computer from the start menu, the User Log off/Switch User option appears, instead of the Shutdown options.
Any help will be highly appreciated.
Thank you for your time.

High number of threads and high CPU usage on a single instance

Without any apparent reason, in some moments of day the website reports an increment of the HTTP Queue Length from an average of 10/20 queued requests to 100/200 and more.
In that period of time the Average Response Time increases but the number of the requests on the website don't. Even increasing the instances it doesn't help to resolve the problem (maybe it just reduced it).
It seems that the problem is not related to the traffic on the site. This issue happens either when the traffic is high or low.
The autoscaling works well, we don't have peak of traffic but always a slow increasing of requests and the CPU is always below the 50% (memory too). The issue is resolved by the swap of the site and sometimes it's resolve by itself after a while.
What I discovered when the issue happens, is that there's an instance (just an instance only), that has an high number of threads and CPU usage on the W3WP.exe process and these values are above the mean than the other instances. Eg, instances are around
50/60 threads and 10/20% of CPU, the instance with the problem has 200 threads and 50/60% of CPU. If I kill the W3WP process on that instance the issue is resolved.
I monitored the HTTP requests, I tried the website extension "Diagnostics as service" but I can't discover anything that can help me to understand the problem. Of course, there are many requests that go in timeout but it is a consequences of a
unresponsive instance.
On the web hosting plan there are only two sites: the production site and its staging which is used for update of the production only and it's always sleeping. Plus, no webjobs are running on this site.
What can I do to gather useful information that can help me to understand the reason of this problem?
Thank you!

"Does the instance with the high counts receive more traffic than the other instances? Is it possible that the load balancer not
working the way it should be?"
How can I get that information? I can't see metrics for a specific instance
"Does it always happen to the first instance?"
I will check it better, but in the order given by the Processes panel it's the second instance which has the issue. The scaling is at 2 instances for the most part of the time (it's the minimum).
Maybe one time it was the 3th instance but I'm not sure, I'll give it more attention.
" How long do these moment last?"
The time can be 10 to 30 minutes, but I fix it as soon as I see the problem. It's not the down-scaling to resolve it because in these situations the CPU as well is high so the scaling holds or increases the number of instances.
"- How often do these moments occurs?"
It occurs quite often, 2/4 times a week.

Shared memory (System V-style) - High usage of phys memory and page outs

Hi!
I get a much higher usage of physical memory when I use shared memory than I would expect. Please, I would really need someone to confirm my conclusions, so that I can revise my ignorance in this subject.
In my experiments I create a shared memory segment of 200 MB and I have 7 processes attaching to it. I have a ws of 1 GB.
I expect to see what I see when I attach to the shared memory segment in terms of virtual size, i.e. SIZE in prstat. After attaching (mapping it) to the process all 7 processes are about ~203 MB each and this makes sense. RSS, in prstat, is about 3 MB for each process and this is ok to me too.
It is what I see when each of the 7 processes start to write a simple string like 'Hello!' in parallel to each page in their shared memory segment that I get surprised. I run out of memory on my ws after a while and the system starts to wildly page out physical memory to disk so that the next 'Hello!' can be written to the next page in the shared memory segment. It seems that each page written to in the shared memory chunk is mapped into each process private address space. This means that the shared memory is not physically shared, just virtually shared. Is this correct?
Can memory be physically shared, so that my 7 processes only use 200 MB? ISM? DISM?
I create a shared memory segment in a C-program with the following calls:
shmid = shmget(key, SHM_SIZE, 0644 | IPC_CREAT)
data = shmat(shmid, (void *)0, 0);Thanks in advance

Unusually high broadband usage over March and Apri...

Have others noticed that they appear to have used far more of their monthly broadband allowance in the last two months? My 'alleged' usage was quadruple my usual but on Friday when I called the billing team they didn't want to know and weren't particularly helpful. However I persistedwith the BT technical team on Sunday and they admitted that they had been receiving an unusually high level of calls from customers complaining about seemingly high usage. They were informing the billing team of the problem so I will continue to chase them this week. Apparently there was some issue with the usage monitor giving out incorrect information so it might be worth people challenging the billing team if they think the same thing has happened to them.

*** please ignore this as I am still having the same issue even without Skype
I've been checking my usage monitor since I installed it this morning and couldn't undestand what these huge red spikes in download activity were every few seconds and my usage was going up and up.
Looking on the internet for solutions I saw lots of mentions about Skype, which I have but have only used once or twice a couple of months ago. Oh, but wait a minute, that was when my usage skyrocketed. And guess what.. I just uninstalled it and now the huge red spikes are no more on my monitor!
I have no idea of the why and how but even though my Skype was not open it was doing something over the internet and something very big.
So if you have the same issue and you have some kind of video calling software installed it may be worth uninstalling it just to check.
The monitor I have been using is here: http://www.softpedia.com/get/Network-Tools/Bandwidth-Tools/NetMeter.shtml

Can you explain about Higher-level item category and item usage?

Hi all
Can you explain about Higher-level item category and item usage?
thanks all

Higher level item category and Item usage are used in the item category determination.
Let me take an example of Item Category TANN (Free of charge Item)
Item category Determination: Sales Document type + Item Category Group + Usage + Higher Level Item Category
TA + NORM + FREE + TAN = TANN
Higher Level Item category: The category on which this item category is dependent. meaning for TAN , TANN is a free item. Therefor TAN is the higher level item category.
Item Category Usage: It controls system response during document processing. The line item has an specific usage according to that usage it has to respond. Free for free items, text for text items etc.

Roaming Fraud in Telecoms and High-Usage Reporting standards

Hi,
I am sure that there are people out there performing software development on telecoms systems to process high usage reports in order to reduce roaming fraud. I am hoping that someone can point me at a forum they may use so that I may join them to exchange
information.
Can anyone help please?
Many thanks in advance.

Kai,
Thanks for the question (and input). As you probably know, we have several partners that provide WLP-ready monitoring solutions providing insight into the utilization, availability, and performance of portal components, including Acsera, Quest, Intersperse, and Wily. In general, these tools are sophisticated and powerful, providing features such as SLA management, alerting, and drill down capability to meet the needs of operational, support, and development personnel tasked with detecting, isolating, and diagnosing performance and availability related issues.
In addition, we recognize the need to provide business users with straightforward statistics on utilization and performance. While we do not plan on providing such capabilities out of the box for the 9.2 release, we are actively investigating the possibility of leveraging the Analytics component of ALUI to provide such reporting capabilities for Weblogic Portal in the future.

My old mac and 3g won't recognize my iphone4s - and the new itunes on my pc won't recognize the 3g

Hi, I'm having issues syncing my information from two separate computers to my new phone.
I backed up my old iPhone 3g on my iBookG4. The G4 does not support the iPhone 4s because it's too old and I cannot update to Lion or Leopard because it's too old.
I have a Dell that I bought in 2009 (i know i know, it was cheap and i had to get it for a class i was taking) - anywho, I have downloaded the new version of iTunes for the iPhone 4s and this version of iTunes won't recognize the 3g - I'm guessing because it is so outdated.
So, I can't get the old computer to read the new phone or the new computer to read the old phone.
What I attempted was home sharing with iTunes and that got all my music and apps, but contacts and calendars I can't move.
Any suggestions??
thanks.
ps this mac is so old that the letter a just popped off the keyboard

Syncing of devices running iOS4 and higher requires iTunes 9.x and higher.
iOS 4.3 and higher requires iTunes 10.x or higher.
Regardless, iTunes 9.x and 10.x require Windows XP Service Pack 3.
Is your Windows system current with all Windows updates?

High usage in memory

When i check the same in sm37 and there are only three jobs running which took only low memory.system is paging, How do i exactly find out which job is taking high consumption of my memory.
where can i check all these.

Hi,
When you activate an InfoCube, rebuild an aggregate, delete the data of an InfoCube or perform other operations, the SAP BW system creates fact tables. By default, data compression is not activated in these cases.However, usually the numeric values in a fact table are correlated or are located in a small segment of the value range. For this data, you can achieve good compression rates with less memory space requirements and a better utilization of the DB2 buffer pool and, therefore, less input and output.
Reduces application server access to Database. Ie.g. set the number range buffer for one dimension to 500, the system will keep 500 sequential numbers in memory SAP OSS note 130253: Notes on upload of transaction data into BW
After the load, reset the number ranges buffer to its original state: minimize unnecessary memory allocation.

Do i need web kit 2 web process i keep getting high usage errors

Do i need the file webkit 2 web process? i keep getting high usage errors

Problem solved, though awkwardly. Changed my default browser to Chrome. Since this problem was issues encountered using Safari, that eliminated them. I'd had Chrome installed on my Mac for a long time, but only used it sporadically because I never found it as fast as and I just preferred Safari. But I'm finding now that it's been set as default and I'm not running them both at the same time that Chrome is actually living up to the zippy-speeds Google always said it had. So yay! for me.

Hi,
Welcome to the  Discussions
So we have DSL Modem <-> Base Station <-> Computer connected by Ethernet.
Is the Modem Routing ?
Is the Base Station set to "Share An IP" ?
(i.e are there two DHCP servers on your LAN ?)
Is Internet Sharing On in th G5s System Preferences > Sharing pane ?
In the Base Station is Port Mapping Protocol Enabled if it is doing routing ?
It is in the NAT tab of the Internet Pane.
Is the G5 also doing WiFi to the Base Station ?
Also check the Modem is not Blocking PINGS as this log shows no PING (But I am not sure it even got that far)

One external app on 1st gen iPhone 5. Cellular Network Data Sent = 1.2GB. What could cause such a high usage?

I had the same issue, whilst my IPhone 5 iOS 7.0.2 was in my pocket all morning, I checked the usage on traffic monitor and it said data usage 1.1 GB. My setting are:
icloud:
mail:off, contacts:on, calenders:on, reminders:on, Safari:off, Notes:on, passbook:on, photos:off, Documents & Data:on(whatsapp only), Find my Iphone:on
itunes & apps store:
music:off, Video:off itunes match:off Automatic downloads music:off, apps:off, books:off, update:off
Podcasts: Auto downloads:off
itunes wifi sync: last sync Friday 11 Oct 2013 (not this morning)
I am using an inmarsat satelite connection if anybody knows any other settings that could cause vast amounts of data to download please advise. After thought would'nt it be nice if apple had an all in one feature(switch) that only allowed Push notifications and safari usage through. Thanks in advance.

DPC Latency very high in Games sound and game freezes

5DPC Latency very high in Games sound and game freezes?hello, i am new her. I am german, sry for my Bad englisch. i do my best that you unterstand me...
my problem is very well known in the internet, but i did not find a solution until now...
My Computer:
E6300 @ 3 ghz
Mainboard: Abit Fatalty FP-IN9 with nForce650i-SLI Chipset
4 Gig DDR2 Ram
Win 7 64bit
Soundblaster is a X-fi Titanium PCIe
when i am in windows, look a film on youtube or on my harddisk the DPC Latency is always " green " and i have no freezes in sound or computer
But when i start a Computergame like Starcraft the freezes come, and also the DPC Latency goes red.
http://www.picfront.org/d/7Ngg
I thought the problem is the old Daniel_K 2.0 support pack driver which i installed 6 month ago. I formated my computer todey.
Installed Windows, installed Ati display driver, than installed orginal Creative driver : 2.7.0008 (26. Juli 200). And then i started Starcraft 2 direct but i did not help. Because of that i think i must be a hardware problem...

the Wlan-card was it. How can i solve the problem that i can use my wlan without this freeze problems ?

Internet by high-speed DSL cable and two computers sharing the cable

I have a DSL cable going to my computer. It is high speed 100mbps internet. There was a modem supplied but I do not use it. I just stick the cable which comes out of the wall into the computer using the USB ethernet connector.
When I plugged the DSL cable into the modem then connected the modem to my computer, the internet speed was slower (about 30 mbps) so I did not do that.
If I want to use wireless internet though I do have to use the modem.
When the service provider technician came to my home to hook everything up, he said something about purchasing a router from him. He said that way I can have multiple computers using into the internet.
Since I only had the one computer at the time, I did not take him up on his offer.
Now, I want to use two computers––two MacBook Airs––using the cable. I prefer the cable to wireless because it's very fast.
Before I go and buy any equipment, I want to know what I need.
Do I buy just a router and then put the cable that comes out from the wall into a socket and then connect the other two computers to the router, or do I need to get a modem as well?
Just to remind you that when the modem is connected to the computer, the speed drops a lot even though the cable is connected to the modem.
If I need a modem, do I need to buy a special modem or is the one that I have good enough?
Sorry, if this sounds like a basic question but I don't really know much about routers and modems. I surfed the internet a bit on this but I still am not sure what to do.

Step one: Visit http://www.giganews.com/line_info.html and post up the Traceroute the page shows, if you wish. Be aware that the final hop (bottom-most line of the trace) might contain a hop with your IP address in it. Remove that line. What I'm looking for is a line that mentions "ERX" in it's name towards the end. If for some reason the trace does not complete (two lines full of Stars), keep the trace route intact.
Step two: Can you provide the Transceiver Statistics from your modem?
As to where that is, it seems to be at
STATUS > WAN STATUS.

If I want to take my old iPhone and swap the number from my wife's phone to it so she can use it for her phone how do I do it?

With AT&T it's ridiculously easy.
Create backups for each device
Log out of iCloud Apple ID
Erase all content and settings
Power off the devices
Change the SIM
Power on the device
Configure with the appropriate Apple ID
Finally, dial 611 to let AT&T know what iPhone should answer to what number.
