8.4. PUP Exceptions

AVG is able to analyze and detect executable applications or DLL libraries that could

be potentially unwanted within the system. In some cases the user may wish to keep

certain unwanted programs on the computer, (programs that were installed on

purpose). Some programs, especially free ones, include adware. Such adware might

be detected and reported by AVG as a potentially unwanted program. If you wish

to keep such a program on your computer, you can define it as a potentially

unwanted program exception:

The Potentially Unwanted Programs Exceptions dialog displays a list of already

defined and currently valid exceptions from potentially unwanted programs. You edit,

delete, or add new exception.

Control buttons

 Edit - opens an editing dialog (identical with the dialog for new exception

definition, see below) of an already defined exception, where you can change

the exception's parameters
