runaway .ZIP temp files; fills drive

I have runaway temp files while parsing my cache of .ZIP files in a scheduled job. Seems to only happen for the most recent .ZIP file, and it adds copies of the previous log data into the most recent log file .ZIP, then fills the rest of the drive with YYYY-MM.zip.tmpNN in order from 1-55, each file being 119.5 MB.

This is not a runaway independent process, I have disabled all scripts that were updating this cache of .ZIPs. I see in other forum posts that WeblogExpert does not cache log data when parsing raw IIS serves logs directly through UNC paths, but is the sam true when WE parses local .ZIP files of IIS logs?

The program shouldn't create such temp files in any case, not depending where the ZIP files are located. Maybe there is still some program (e.g. an antivirus) that creates them, e.g. for checking when the ZIP files are accessed by WebLog Expert.
