Sometimes a failed update will try and download again. 33Mb isn't a huge amount to download but you might also want to download something like Networx which lets you monitor what is using your bandwidth.
Do you have any Apple software installed ? There have been recent issues where it has consumed large volumes of bandwidth without the users realising.

While Networx is good at monitoring usage on an hourly/daily/monthly basis as I recall it doesn't record what program/memory process is using it over what time frame.
Something like Sysinternals TCPview shows a real time log of what each internet connection from your computer is using at that moment in time.....but this does obviously require you to monitor it real time as well as once the connection has ceased the values recorded is removed from the display and then the data is lost.
I don't know of any program however which will log all of this to a file so that for example at the end of the day you can see a summary of exactly what program was connecting to the internet during the day or particular hour and how much it uploaded/downloaded during that time slot................and I'd be interested if there is one out there.

I'm sending a log of events to Plusnet online - I hate using their call centre because of the VERY LOUD music they play while on hold. I don't wish to go deaf prematurely!

I'd be interested in seeing this.
Whilst it is a very minimal amount of usage, it would probably be sensible to identify the cause of it.

Bullguard's reply was -"our updates are indeed not that large."
For example, today I had six updates: Four of them were 32 MB, (but one before 8 am) one at 300 kB and the other less than 1 MB. My limit is 10 GB per month which works out at just over 300 MB per day. I've e-mailed Bullguard to ask then to let me know the actual size of the updates that have been sent to me recently.

I'm glad to read that it seems you've found the culprit!
It sounds like this is just the virus definitions updating as and when each new definition becomes available.

You might (as above) want to look at the unlimited packages and see if they could be worth moving to for your own peace of mind - often you can eat up data allowance by the most innocent looking things - I've seen a Windows Update from 8 to 8.1 eat 3Gb of data in very little time.

What a relief! I didn't really know what else to suggest.

In the meantime use Emsisoft Emergency Kit (The Emsisoft Emergency Kit contains a collection of programs that can be used without installation to scan for malware and clean infected computers.)
Or you could use their FULL free 30 day trial version http://www.emsisoft.com/en/software/antimalware/
Kaspersky's TDSSKiller
&
Hitman Pro (Make sure you choose the correct version for your infected machine, eg. 32bit) also choose run on this computer one time (don't worry you can re-rerun it again )
