Norton found these two invisible files because they started with a "period" ".", which are not allowed in the beginning of Mac file names, cause they are used in the programming.

Interesting... I thought I had seen files that started with "."

I check around and found a file ".com.zerog.registry.xml" and a folder ".limewire" both in preferences. I figured the "period" was just to keep them at the top of the list.

I've never seen a pop-up window, though. Just thought I'd mention it since I also use Mac, OS 9.1.
