Strange upload figures

The attached image is of my BitMeter stats covering a period whilst I was out - therefore no-one was using my lappy, but I see activity during that time.
I am aware that there is background communication, but what I don't understand is why my upload figure is so relatively high?
Any answers gratefully received.

I'll have a dig back in the log later and post a snap to illustrate.this.
oops sorry - can't do that. I didn't realise BitMeter only retained the current months figures in hourly form, and this has been happening for a while now.

I only have the DG834G firewall - and can't remember how to set it up to log incoming/outgoimg logs.
Sorry it took a while to respond, I had connection/browser problems.

Quote from: Oldjim The firewall on the laptop - and if you haven't got one you should have
Never had one on this machine. I had one on the desktop before I got the router (Comodo if I remember correctly), but was told by my IT guy that for the kind of use my machines get that the router fw was sufficient.
Unfortunately, the DG834Gv5 I am currently using does not (by default) display these logs, although I know there is a way to enable them.
Any of you tech guys able to give me a guide on this? - I did have it enabled at one time but had to do a factory reset, and fogot how I'd done it.

I'll have a word with my new IT man when I have a bit of spare time.
As an aside, going back to the question of what could be 'calling home', I think AVG does but I have disabled that now.
Mind you, I would have thought the greater figure in that case would have been when I was using the machie?
