Internet usage is being drained when im not doing anything?

Alright so i recently got a new computer, A lenovo. It has McAfee Antivirus and is windows 8.1. Ive noticed when i start it up the data usage goes up rapidly (I dont even have it to where it connects to the internet automatically) Itll be at 90mb in like last 6 min. Ill reset it and it wont go up. Then i go and open a browser and am just surfing the web casually (no videos or images) after awhile i check again; BAM 160mb used in the last 17 min. Wwhat? I have a 15gb cap and am a gamer so this is NOT okay. No games are running. Nothing but my google chrome. No ads, due to adblock. Any solutions? I've looked in the task manager and see nothing suspicious, though i dont know what i should be looking for… Please help i dont know how to fix this!
