These WAXE files have been showing up in my temp files in all of my Windows 8 computers 2 or 3 times per week for a few months now. I am trying to identify where they are coming from. Advanced System Care 9 is the only program that I have that I can think of that might be associated with this so far because it started around the time I installed it on each computer. I use a duplicate computer to help identify issues and problems.
