I took a little different approach and used Automator. Here's what I did:

1. Used Finder to make Invisible files visible.

2. Opened "Automator"
3. Chose "Application"
4. Under "Actions-Library", chose Files & Folders
5. Under "Variables", chose Move Finder Items to Trash
6. Selected all documents named ".3FAD0F65-FC6E-4889-B975-B96CBF807B78"
7. Dragged them to the Automator window
8. Instructed Automator to "Remove" (which needed to be done a document at a time)

Automator appeared to have removed them all, as they disappeared from the Finder list.

9. Restarted the Mac
10. Ran DetectX (V1.28), which gave a 'thumbs up'
11. Used Finder to make invisible files visible.

And, yup, the 'suspect' documents were all back. So now I am wondering if they are, in fact, 'suspect'. Is there anything to date that might suggest DetectX is correct ? i.e. they are not MacKeeper
