What is AIVMFile and why are they creating themselves?
There was a couple in the root folder of my hard drive, now there are hundreds. Can I delete? Is it some attempt at spy ware? Thanks!

I just ended up with 2117 AIVMFileXXX files at the root level of my startup drive, after Adobe Illustrator sucked up all my remaining hard disk space while working on several AI docs in Illustrator CS6. I had to force-quit Illustrator and restart my MacBook Pro because I was down to 200 MB of free space on my drive! I presume AIVMFile means Adobe Illustrator Virtual Memory File. Note that all the AIVMFileXXX were zero K in size. I simply deleted them.

I had 6250 AIVMFiles in my home folder… disgusting really (Adobe-.-")… Just deleted them… I really hope it doesn't break anything in the long run. It seems they're Virtual Media Files… should be good.
