AVG Anti-Virus: Add exception - how it works

If AVG Anti-Virus blocks a program on your computer, you must add an exception. You can then use the application again as usual.

Set exception in AVG Anti-Virus

In AVG Anti-Virus you can set up exceptions for files, URLs and entire directories:

1. First open the AVG user interface.
2. Call up the "Options" and then the "Advanced Settings ..." item in the top right menu.
3. Click on the "Exceptions" item in the left sidebar.
4. You can now create a new rule using the "Add exception" button.
5. To do this, define an exception type and select the desired file or URL.
6. Finally confirm your selection by clicking on "OK".
