Windows 10 is always downloading something

When I plugged it back in this morning the problem seems to have dissappeared. Is it possible that it was just a glitch in my college's internet provider?

I'll tell you that IMO the issue is simply dormant, not gone. I can't imagine it won't be back. I notice Limewire installed, that could be waking up and chewing up the bandwidth, that's what it does! I ran spybot once again and the same Right Media cookie came up. When I tried to delete it once again the bandwidth monitor started ticking again and hasn't stopped since. I ran malware bytes to try and remove this "virus" to no avail.

I also ran McAfee and nothing was found either. Any other suggestions and am I right in assuming that this may be the underlying issue? As Seen On. Welcome to Tech Support Guy! Latest posts.
