It has been very difficult to identify the source of this file. It seems to be associated with a software source I use called SharewareOnSale. When I download or use software from Ashampoo new WAX*** files end up in the temp file. If I don't download or use those programs something I can't find but seems to be associated with something from Ashampoo called My Software Deals URL link source hidden (I can't find) in some part of the start up manager puts another WAX*** file in the temp file about 2 times per week which seems like every 3 to 5 days. I have a new uninstall program that I am hoping will find this when I uninstall the last Ashampoo program I installed after which this form of the WAX*** file is now detected every day in the temp file.
