In OS X 10.8 I clicked this terminal file

[maxsteel]

Hi,

While I was trying to remove an application manually, I started this terminal file "fstyp_ntfs" by mistake and then it showed a terminal windows and I closed it immediately. Since I'm just started using mac before two days, is this something to concern or it just normal and I just should ignore what I did.

Thank you,

It is for checking for any NTFS formatted volumes. Even if executed, it would not have done any harm.
How did you come upon it anyway?

Thank you and good to hear it will not harm. Actually, I was trying to uninstall paragon for mac and it appeared while I was searching for system files. Hopefully I'll be careful with removing application next time.

Strange, as the file you mentioned should not have shown up if you searched by file name and used "Paragon" as name to search for.

you're right. but I used "ntfs" to make sure since the application icon in system preferences include that.

You could have frelled up your system that way, as searching for "Paragon" would have included the System Preferences pane.

Hopefully I didn't. Thank you
