so, im trying to make an exception for a program, that keeps getting blocked by avg (it isn't a threath at all) but whenever i open up avg's control panel, i just keep getting the "trial has expired, buy full version now" etc etc… wich blocks me from changing my settings, that still apply to my free version! are you saying i can't make exceptions if i don't have the full version?
