[DM-MUG] NAVMac800QSFile?

[Bailey Ford]

Hey there Ray,

I love tracking stuff like this down.

You saw the NAVMac800QSFile file in the list of files copied by CCC? 
You should be able to see this in the terminal using ls -a or by doing 
a search for the file in the finder. I'd have the find command look for 
files that are invisible that have NAVMac in their name or something 
similar. Once we can see the file, we should be able to get some good 
info - like how big it is and what its type and creator are set to. 
Just based on the name, I wonder if it has anything to do with Norton 
Antivirus - do you have that software? Also, you might be able to force 
an application to open the file by dragging it (say, from the search 
results window) onto a text editor while holding down command and 
option. I'd try TextEdit or BBEdit Lite.

Let me know how it goes!
