    > During a 'manual scan' of a folder, if Norton Antivirus (NAV) encounters a
    file /folder name with 'some' ASCII characters ( 1-31) NAV can't further
    proceed the manual scan and its front-end 'NAVW32.exe' crashes! This Bug has
    no impact in the NAV Auto-Protect Engine.

    > Create a folder (say: '!' ) and put some sub-folders and files in it. The

    No troubleshooting found in NAV-2003-Pro ed. on win2000pro. ascii dir
    created and scanned.
    NAVW32.exe seems to work fine.
