As it was written on Sep 22, thus Harris Samuel W PORT typed:

[snip large amount of text.  In a nutshell, a tmp file is eating up hard
 drive space]


Download and execute FileMon from SysInternals.com

Configure FileMon to watch the partition on which the temp file is located
on.

Start FileMon running and see what process has that file open.

> From there you check that program against a Windows rootkit checker.

Run 'strings' (if it exists on Windows, otherwise install Cygwin) against
the program and what interesting words appear in the binary.

Cant wait to see what you come up with.
