I was trying to stop Host Process For Windows Services from downloading 100s 
of megabytes of unknown data to my computer.  Somewhere I came across a 
message regarding EdgeBlock which blocks WebView and that seems to have 
stopped the Host Process.  Fortunately the only program listed is Quicken 
and I use a 2014 version of Quicken that does not need the internet.  So 
thanks for the info.
