AVG Internet Security Firewall is blocking Minecraft. I tried the following in AVG settings:

Allow App –> Select App Manually –> Minecraft.exe

But I am met with this error: You don't have permission to open this file. Contact the file owner or an administrator to obtain permission.

How do I convince AVG that I am the administrator of my laptop? Or is there something else I can do to allow Minecraft to pass through the AVG Firewall?
