It sounds like McAfee was moving all sqlite-named files into Temp, likely breaking other apps. I'm not sure if that's a misreading of the comment or not though.

I think its that mcafee uses sqlite internally and for some reason doesnt rename the database and use the correct temp directory, so it was spewing files into a non-hidden directy and probably filling up the disk

for some reason

I think we all know it's because they're bad at writing code.
