Log files open in iCab - huh?
We've got two Macs running 10.6.1.
On one of them, ClamXAV works normally.
On the other one, instead of opening log files in Console.app, they turn
up opening in iCab.
Anyone got any idea why this happens and what can be done to put things
back to normal?
Pre OS X, I'd just rebuild the desktop. No longer applicable...

I'm not sure why it might happen, but to get it opening in Console.app,
can you do a 'Get Info' on one of the files, then choose Console.app
from the 'Open with' section?

Well, yeah, but why's it happening in the first place? That's the
puzzler. Telling the UI to open that file in Console.app won't put
whatever's out of whack into the shape it needs to be.
