What the hell is this crap and why all of a sudden?

Post by ironuser »

crl.set, manifest.fingerprint, and manifest.json
These three files just started showing up in the past few days located in folders in my TEMP directory, and THEY ARE NUMEROUS! I know from a search they are related to Iron(chromium) as they do not show for any other application. Weel. that's not entirely tru as the manifest.json is also a Firefox thing and probalby the Mozilla emial client.
BUT my question is why all of a sudden am I getting these folders with these three files in them DAILY in my TEMP area? and most days they are repeated. Several times!

I hate to dump Iron, but if this keeps up. Without a good reason for them, I will!

OK, I've found that they originate from the Native Client thing(which I don't think I use, at least I didn't set it up that way).
I deleted the pnacl folder from each of my profiles along with the PnaclTranslateCache folder. We'll see if that stops them.
Those folders were not in my profiles a week back(I have a copy that is a week old so I know what was there a week ago).
I DO NOT know where from or how they came to be there!
OR if I need the damned things or not!
