I am getting a message from Norton that the archive above was infected.
Using Spotlight, I can not find a file with that name. Just wondering
if anyone knew where this file was and how I can pin it down. Someone
in MacFixIt forums said this was the spotlight name for a specific
Entourage mail message...

That file will be one of the Spotlight Metadata files - in one of the
subfolders in ~/Library/Caches/Metadata/Microsoft/Entourage/

I'll be very surprised if any of these files are infected - one thing,
they're too new. Also, they are only plain text.

I suspect that Norton has been falsely triggered.

These files are nothing more than XML files--I'm not so sure that it's
possible to get a virus within such a file. Might be something to bring up
to the folks at Norton.
