Can anyone tell me why there is a new folder created in my Windows\Temp everytime I start Subsonic. Foldername changes and is named something like "e4j29A.tmp_dir21541","e4j29C.tmp_dir21639",etc. In the folder are 2 files named "exe4jlib.jar" 27kB wich is always there and "i4jdel.exe" 5kB wich is created everytime I start subsonic. "i4jdel.exe" is sometimes recognized as a trojan on the internet. I am not sure but it looks suspicious to me. I downloaded my version of Subsonic from the Subsonic website and installed it today. Can anyone tell me why that file is needed by Subsonic ?
Thanks

Accord. to Google, the second file may be related to a bittorrent prog called Vuze...

Thanks for the reply. I also read that, but since there is no Vuze on my computer and also no bittorrent I still think it is weird, the thing is that both files are created everytime I start Subsonic. Another thing is that the .exe file can only be deleted when I stop the Subsonic server, but when I delete and start Subsonic again, both files are recreated.

I received an aswer from the moderator of this forum about this:

Hi,

Subsonic uses exe4j to wrap the java process. That's probably why these temp files are created.
