Got a computer with this issue...
might this be due to the user going to websites?

but how do you ussually get them?

What is the version of SEP being used?

you run any free online scans to see what they find on the PC?

Any solution to this?

Sure it will get rid of all of the files in the xfer folder but it does not solve the problem.  As far as I can tell from these forums Symantec has been working on this for more than a year. 

Does anyone know what the deal is? 

I've had 5 workstations with this issue in the last 2 weeks 4 of which filled their harddrives.
  
Please explain how this might happen.

I think this is a bug and it needs fixing.Hope this will happen this next release.

As a Symantec Partner I am disappointed with the apathy of the Symantec Endpoint Protection team.

Users have been waiting patiently for a fix to the “xfer - temp file” issue/problem for over 2 years.

I can no longer condone such inaction and, even though I am a Symantec Partner, I am now forced to advise my corporate clients to adopt alternative anti-virus solutions in their next upgrade cycle.

This will obviously adversely affect how I view Symantec’s other products and their SLA’s.
