Help 3G Connection constantly working

My X10 Xperia has in the last too days started using the 3G connection constantly, I noticed it when I got a txt from Vodafone saying my allowance was nearly gone ( I mostly use wireless connection) I downloaded a app showing internet usage and it was constantly going up even after using task killer to kill apps, I have got lookout mobile installed and did a virus/malware scan and it came up with nothing.
Any ideas?
Is there a way that I can see exactly what is using the connection?
I have had to disable 3G in the settings for now.
 
I would pull the battery if you can't find the issue. never hurts.

I downloaded 2 apps yesterday which seemed to help me allot, Battery Booster and Memory Booster (yes, same developer).

But then, I also haven't used any 3G for over a week, (Yes, I need to get out more :D
 
I have tried taking the battery out that hasnt helped, Im not using timescape and I do have a widget to disable it but it keeps switching itself back on.
 
Also are you running a task killer because that could be killing your Data Switch app thus letting the 3g reconnect.
 
If you go into settings > wireless & network > mobile network > then turn off data traffic without using a widget (that's for 2.1 think its slightly different for 1.6).
I've had no end of trouble with 3G and the X10 but mine has been the other way round I had to reinstall to get it working again.
 
Thanks for all your posts, I have finally figured it out, I installed an app called Webkey which allows you to remotely log into your phone using the internet, turns out this app was constantly connected to the internet, I went in the settings and disabled this and the problem was solved.
Thanks.
