You have a metered connection? Absolutely malware can run secret internet traffic you are not even aware is going on. Shut down your browser and then go into Network and sharing center. Find your network connection right click and choose status and see if packets are still coming in and going out. 

 

ADWCleaner is a great stand-alone malware remover:
