 A forensic analysis of the Tor Browser Bundle (version 2.3.25-6, 64-bit)
 on OS X 10.8 showed that Spotlight and mds may have indexed the Tor
 Browser Bundle.

 Spotlight, and the Metadata Server (mds), indexes all items and files on a
 system and allows the user to perform system-wide searches for all sorts
 of items; documents, pictures, applications, system preferences, etc.

 I have not been able to open the files in /.Spotlight-V100 and
 /var/db/mds/messages/, but I would say it is likely that Spotlight and mds
 picked up the Tor Browser Bundle and the attached external drive at some
 point.
