[G4] ism temp file

[Ron Michael]

Tonight I was doing some routine maintenance and found a folder called 
"IsmTempFile" that was over 650 MB in size. Inside were files going 
back to March 20 ranging in size from 1MB to 56MB. All of them are 
named "ns3704880.tmp" or similar. They all start with "ns", then 
numbers, then .tmp. I run Cocktail and Cache cleaner about every other 
day and neither trashed this file. I can't imagine a program that feels 
the need to store 650 MB of stuff on my computer. I tried opening two 
of them using Word's "recover any text" function and just saw a bunch 
of ASCII garbage, but it may be encrypted information. Any clues. I did 
a Google search and only came up with two hits with people asking 
questions about it. I can't remember where I found it but I think it 
was in my Library/Cache/Preferences file.
Thanks.
