This morning, I noticed a new (to me) folder in my User > Library > Preferences directory. It's called StageManager.BD092818F67280F4B42B04877600987F0111B 594.1. It contains a single sub-folder called Local Store. There is nothing in the sub-folder.
Doing a little searching, I don't really find much about it beyond some indication that it might be associated with Adobe apps, but I also find a lot of Windows users implying that it's associated with some malware/rootkit/virus/plague of locusts/etc. So, it's all pretty inconclusive. I've not noticed this folder before, and haven't installed any new software recently, so I have no clue where it came from or when it first appeared.
Anyone else have this folder in their Preferences? Anyone with a good guess as to what it's for?

No. Never used StageManager.
Interestingly, there's another folder in Preferences called chc.4875E02D9FB21EE389F73B8D1702B320485DF8CE.1. It also has a sub-folder called Local Store. That folder contains tons of files used by Adobe CS5 apps. They look to be primarily help files and images.
