Description John Kieken 2009-07-08 14:03:46 PDT
I just started seeing this a day or two ago.  Using the latest build for PPC. (OS 10.4.11)

When loading certain pages a download starts and a small blank text file named Desktop-1-1, Desktop-2-1, etc appears in the root User level directory and then also an empty folder named Desktop-1, Desktop-2, etc. appears inside the specific user's Home directory.

Certain pages will cause this every time.

Mostly news sites but here is a blog that's doing it reliably and repeatably...

This annoying behavior continues...

Although no longer happening on the original URLs I provided, it's happening on this new URL...

Is there any more I can do to help track this down?
