Dodgy left-over files from surfing!
Checking out a system that had been in "public" use for a while I made an interesting discovery.
I am used to IE leaving lots of files lying around in its Temporary Internet Files folder, and those can be cleared easily with Tools/Internet Options in IE, BUT have found a new folder called Documents and Settings/[username]/Application Data/Sun/java/deployment/cache/javapi/v1.0/file which contains over 5000 jpg and idx files. Judging by the look of some of the jpg files, somebody has been doing some very dodgy surfing or chatting in the xxx area, and of course the files are all timestamped so it is easy in this case to work out who it was.
Has anybody else spotted this? Is it documented anywhere? Besides the obvious security issues it is a pain having so may Mb taken up that aren't cleared out by what used to be the "standard actions" It is also a "hidden" folder, so you won't see it unless you change folder options
