What you NEED to understand is that Flash Player is ONLY a plug-in for your browser.

It ONLY functions when there is Flash content in a page and ONLY when that content is called into play by a user action (you clicked Play or visited a page where the content was set to "auto play").

If your system is downloading data AFTER you've closed the browser (and subsequently terminated the plug-in), whatever is causing that download is OUTSIDE of your browser and OUTSIDE of Flash Player.

Think of it this way. You have a Blu-Ray movie playing and suddenly... there's a loud screeching sound coming from your stereo. So you stop the movie - the sound continues. You eject the BR disc - the sound continues. You disconnect the BR player - the sound continues. You turn the TV off - the sound continues. You disconnect the TV from the stereo - the sound continues. The sound CANNOT be coming from a source that is completely disabled. Flash player is like the BR Player, your browser like the TV. The data download is like the annoying sound. Something in your OS... be it a setting or even malware... is causing the download of data because a terminated browser and a terminated plug-in cannot cause it.

I can confirm that my pc is clean (as it's fresh installation of windows 8.1, an all system scanned with bitdefender & different online scanner and nothing found )

As your explanation above this issue isn't related to flash player but after some practice I noticed that the issue appears only when moving around in videos that is streamed by flash player plugin (walking through it like clicking by mouse to go to middle of the video or end of it) and close the browser while streaming the speed still occupied !!!!. 'when using html5 all runs okay but html5 don't run all videos around so I have to run them by flash plugin' the weird thing that when streaming video without going to any part or point of it the problem don't appear at all

Seeking for ideas to help me figure out what's wrong!

at all thanks for help and reply
