Description :
GnuCash is a personal finance manager. A check-book like register GUI
allows you to enter and track bank accounts, stocks, income and even
currency trades. The interface is designed to be simple and easy to
use, but is backed with double-entry accounting principles to ensure
balanced books.

Update Information:

This removes an unneeded file in GnuCash that could cause a security issue if ran from a directory that other users had write access to.
