How do I WhiteList an IP address that is being identified by AVG as blocklist:botnet ?

The program itself has been white listed.  AVG knows that the program that is white-listed is the one trying to access the IP address that is being blocked.

It's annoying that I don't see a place in the settings to tell AVG to ignore this "issue."

I have temporarily turned off Web Shield -- but that turns off all Web Shield protection, and I ONLY want to let through that one particular IP address.
