any time you look at a webpage, you are uploading info to and from them.  mostly tracking info and pinging data

the only real way to stop this uploading is to stop using the computer

Answer 4

looks like you are having spyware and trojans in system registry.

clean them with glary utilities download GU from www.download.com

Also do a boot scan with antivirus program if you do not find good one then use AVAST.

uploading should not be so high most like 15-20 % of your download volume as it contains only data in text format ofcourse if you upload movies or pictures it is high.
