That Networx program needs something checked in the settings. It will make an "icon" by the clock, right mouse click on it, then left click settings, then put a check mark next to "ignore local traffic within the LAN" sort of bottom left, then ok. Then you can right click again on the icon, usage report, the applications tab will show which programs used what (that didn't work until that was checked). You won't probably know all of the programs, some are things that are part of Windows, other programs. It's been a while and I don't use Windows personally, so I had to check it first.
If you want to monitor other devices we can get that going, just figured with the video and other possible issues, pcs would be the likely causes to check first.
I will second what Allan says about Viaero now. If your area is upgraded, it has been excellent for now, night and day difference from their old service. I worked on several computers with the old service, it didn't work, or when it did was practically unusable, even a couple blocks from the tower. I am about 6 miles from the tower, only reason I have a signal through the trees is because of the booster. But video streams fine, at higher quality on the base package. It sometimes tries to load HD, and it can play that at times. Sounds like the device you had is like mine now, probably more tower related issues than device. But I don't want to push you back to that service based on past experience, and knowing how they can be if there are any future issues. But, it is worth checking out. There is a data cap now, they sent out a letter that there was. They stated 100GB, which their usage meter said for a while, so more than enough, but my data meter now says over 300GB now and they never said anything about that, so I don't know what they are doing. Their overage use charge was quite reasonable. You go to my.viaero.com and login, click on the account, and "unbilled usage summary" to see the data.
That said, Verizon 4G is MUCH faster with downloads, and would be more reliable with issues. Except of course the data cap. I left for Viaero because of that data cap, and don't regret it a bit.
People keep saying that that's a lot of data, which, like I said, it isn't. Depends totally on what you do, and how many people. With the old Wildblue, I was researching pickups on ebay, lots of pictures. I calculated I could use over 200 megs an hour doing that, so just that for one month, 6 GB (if I would use it that much, which I didn't, just an example). That was with the much slower service. Faster service, not hard at all to blow through data without trying. There are ways to lock down your web browsers too. Firefox, if you install Noscript and adblock it helps with some of the stuff.
I keep neighbors and family on free antivirus and it works fine, if you are paying there are sales to get it cheap. You can look on slickdeals.net. If you like Mcafee for example, you can type that in the search box, should come up with recent sales. Or any other thing you want. That Malwarebytes is probably the main tool to get malware off, and like I said, I'd run that, even with your other stuff installed. It's pretty much the first thing I run on anybody's when I suspect malware.

Today's Featured Article - Third Brush Generators - by Chris Pratt. While I love straightening sheet metal, cleaning, and painting old tractors, I use every excuse to avoid working on the on the electrics. I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
