Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT

Looks like no one’s replied in a while. To start the conversation again, simply ask a new question.

Private>TMP folder is growing exponentially.

Starts at 16kb and grows to 95GB in a matter of days, forcing me to go back to an older copy. Always goes back to 16kb and then is at 95gb days later. Disk Inventory X has isolated it to the tmp folder, I just don't know how to stop it from happening.

Update > The folders are .vbfolder_xxxxxx and contain two files, Archive.pax and Archive.pax.gz

The folder replicates over and over again, getting bigger almost every time, with the same two files in them.

I've done Virus Scans with Virus Barrier. Not ready to start with a clean install unless I have to.


Any ideas??

iMac, Mac OS X (10.7.1)
