FYI,

I have since discovered that Symantec has removed *all* default exclusions
in their Norton AntiVirus 7.0 (corporate edition).  Gone are the RECYCLED
folder, the windows executables, and the wildcard exclusions.  Nice

 Program Version: 7.0
 Scan Engine: 1.1.1.11
 Definitions: 20131a
 Dare: 1/31/2000

Here is a fix that will cause NAV to stop excluding "\Recycled\*.*" as
it does by default:
