If not update activity, what is it?

[Peter]

I'm new to Win 7 (2 weeks). Initially there were dozens of updates to
the OS and to MS applications that were installed on the PC. It stopped
after a few days.

In the past 2 days I've noticed a lot of downloading from 65.54.81.xxx.
This AM, over 170 MB of data was downloaded from 1 IP address. This
site closed, and another 65.54.81.xxx site started downloading many MB
of data.

I don't have any MS application open, only the OS. No updates are
showing up waiting to be installed. IF I interrogate windows update, no
updates are found that need to be downloaded.


Scanning with avira antivirus, malware bytes and super anti spyware show
a clean PC.

This is really hitting my bandwidth hard.
Any ideas?

Automatic Updates Enabled by any chance. Did you check the Logs to see what is
downloading?

Automatic updates are and have been enabled all along. When I noticed
all the activity I ran a manual "get updates" to see what might be
coming at me. The result: I am up to date and no updates are available
for download. My update history log shows no updates installed for the
past 3-4 days.

I saw which IP was causing all the activity when I went to my firewall's
active connection monitor and did a whois search on the IP; it came up
with MS in Richmond WA.

What logs can I check to see what is downloading in real time (or what
was downloaded that apparently is not an update?)
