But, this online security proves costly when you have the limited bandwidth considered. So turning windows automatic updates can help to save a lot of Bandwidth usage of Internet Broadband and thus saving your data surfing.

To turn on Windows Automatic update, Go to Control Panel -> Windows Update. In sidebar, click “Change settings”. In new dialog box, click on “Never check for updates” and hit OK.

Firefox Updates, Firefox browser updates itself frequently. So, it is better to turn it off. You can do this from Tools -> Options and using “advanced” tab and then “update” tab.

# Adobe Reader and Adobe Flash player are similar example whose update needs to be stopped to save  bandwidth. Similar other services need to be operated to stop their update.

Though there are also other application which automatically looks for the updates whenever they get an online connection you should manually check for whatever an application its automatic updates disable.
