There are several Programs, Files and Process that use the internet to share their status. They are using consuming too much bandwidth.

How can I stop them from using Internet Connection in Windows OS?

As @Voitcus pointed out in comment (IMHO that should be answer not comment) the easiest way would be to block them in your firewall.

Start Menu -> Control Panel -> Windows Firewall -> Allow app to access net -> Pick your application's exe file -> Deny both

(I have Polish version of Windows, so the command may have a litle other names)

As PiotrK pointed out use a firewall. On Windows XP or newer you can use built-in firewall (you require administrator privileges). You can set which application has which rights. In any time you can tick or untick rule for this application to (de)activate blocking.

For older Windows systems there are freeware (usually for non-commercial use) firewalls, some of them having large configuration options (better rules than this of Windows).

It is advised not to use two firewalls at the same time, so first turn off your system one.
