Windows Temp folder keeps filling disk with cab_xxxx files

I have a few computers we maintain that run Windows 7 Professional...the c:\windows\temp folder keeps slowly filling the entire disk with files named cab_xxxx.  I have searched for solutions and tried recreating the windows update folder and the cbs.log  (see http://www.cagedrat.com/microsoft-windows/microsoft-windows-updates-cab-files-filling-up-hard-drive/ for specifics).  I can go in and delete these files with no harm but in a matter of days they recreate and fill the entire disk.

Don't know exactly what fixed the issue but after running the steps in my first post, manually running updates, and doing some cleanup work after fixed the issue.
