Recently, I realized that everytime I recharged my modem, I used just 70 percent of my data. The remaining 30 percent was usually guzzled by background processes downloading and uploading content useless to me.

Thats why I had to make this application. The, app, titled " This Nonsense Must Stop", kills any process...any process at all... that tampers with my data in the background.

You can add exceptions i.e. programs you dont want the app to close, and you can remove them when you want too.

The program, like all my other apps is completely free and open source and free of adverts (I hate that shit).

It was implemented in C# (Just because I targeted windows machines and again, c# is kinda cool), so if you know the language, you can head over to github, and do what you will mercifully with the code.

Thanks everyone. User response is gold...

Sup boss. I downloaded your app and sharperly installed it on my old machine running windows 7. I also sharperly connect am to my phone's hotspot say make I dey flex o, cos na this undergound data chopping prevent me to dey use my laptop dey browse. I expected the app to display the list of those annoying apps consuming my data, but no be so o.
I also launched my mozilla firefox thinking may be the underground data chopping app are yet to surface. I constantly got messages from firefox requesting to close the 'more than one tab' opened, and I also constantly rejected it. after about 30 mins of flexing na so I disconnect am o, as Glo sef no gree make I check my data balance. As I come wan shutdown the machine na so I see say the thing don download updates anyhow! it took it about 15 mins before it was able to shut down.
Abeg shey the app any minimum requirements for the laptop ni, cos I really need this app.
