2 Why do I still have usage even if we're not at home or asleep?

- Automatic updates namely - Windows, Any security program or application that requires regular updates.
3. Our devices were all turned off, why do we still have usage?
- Someone else might know your username and password. Do NOT provide your username and password to anyone. As long as they know your login credentials, and they have a service with Clear, they would be able to connect using your login.
- If you suspect that someone else knows your login credentials, run all types security scan (malware, spyware, anti-vrus, etc) in all your devices and make sure it's cleared.
