How do I stop AVG scanning the local Time Machine backup files on a Mac

Sorry for the delayed response. Please "unhide" the directory, add in to the AVG exception list and then hide it again. If you face any difficulties, please let us know and we will assist you further.

AVG scan has been sitting at 99% complete for the last 6 hours while it scans the local Time Machine backup on my hard drive.  I thought that I would be able to add the directory to the exceptions list but there isn't any way to add a hidden directory.  How do I get it to not scan the Time Machine backup every time it scans.
