OEM*.INF file generator

About a month ago (through this forum) I was informed on
how to eliminate downloading 'freezes' ...thousands of 0-
KB oemxxx.inf files in the WINDOWS/INF folder. The
solution worked great! But now and then when I do a
download (especially a Microsoft Update), the problems
comes back and I have to go through the same procedure of
eliminating the 0-KB oem.inf files. Once the 0-KB oem.inf
files start being produced, the only way I can stop the
process is to shut down the computer. [After logging off
of the internet during a download (because of a
download 'freeze'), the 0-KB oem.inf files continue to be
generated ...as seen at the MS-DOS prompt]. What can be
done to prevent the generation of 0-KB oem.inf files?
