This tutorial will explain why your data cap (Megabytes or Gigabytes)
finishes on time and how you can make it last longer. You will bear me
witness that the rate at wish data cap finishes this days is becoming
alarming. I was amazed few days back when a guy sent me a mail that he
subscribed for one month bis subscriptionand to his surprise, it
exhausted after three days; i was surprised and perplexed. But there
are many factors that could make your data cap exhaust without your
prior knowledge.
Windows Update:Most a times, when your windows update is set to
automatic updates, it will not only sap your data cap but totally
cripple and crumble your data cap as it will be
downloadingunnecessaryupdates. The best way to optimize this is to set
the windows updates to'never update'.Windows update most a times is
usually up-to if not more than 300Mb; the worst aspect of it is that
www.yomiprof.comwhenever you connect to the internet, it will just be
downloading new updates without you knowing. Imaging your window
updates downloading new updates every time you connect to the net,
that simply means that your data cap will finish that same day. To me,
windows don't need to update. Help yourself and save your data cap.
To automatically deactivate windowsupdates;
Go to Start Menu= = = >Control Panel= = = =>Windows Update
Click on change settings and select"Check for updates but let me
choose whether to downloador install them". And if you automatically
want to do like me, you can choose"Never check for updates".
Ok it and you are good to go.
Antivirus:Normally, your Antivirus is set by default to automatically
update; but this is not advisable. I remember my ESET Antivirus,
whenever I connect to the internet, it will just start downloading
files of over 23,000Kb; before you know it, my Airtel data cap was
exhausted. Though your antivirus is supposed to be updated every now
and then in order to keep your system secured, but why must you use
your subscribed data cap to update your Antivirus when you can easily
walk down to a Cyber Café and pay for an hour to updates your
Antivirus.
It is advisable to set your antivirus to manual updates instead of
automatic updates. To those using Avast Antivirus, you can easily do
that by following this simple steps;
Go to Settings=====>Updates. For the
Engine and Virus definitions - Choose Manual updates
Program – Choose Manual updates.
Click ok and close your Antivirus window.
With this, your Antivirus will not be automatically updating itself
but will allow you to choose when you want to update it. You can
always do this for every other Antivirusshould in case you are not
using Avast Antivirus.
If you are using a different Antivirus, and you don't know how to set
it up, you can always hit me up for the settings
