Forgive my ignorance. SQLite is a database software. Why would McAffee create lots of database files?
[Edit:] I’m not asking why a program needs to store data. I’m asking why that necessitates many files. One database file (or one per table) should be enough, right?
Many programs use SQLite internally and McAfee decided to store the database files in C:/Temp
No, these are sqlite temp files, not the database files. McAfee had no control over the temp files.
