How to allow a program when virus is found?

Hi,
I have a program, on total virus there are only bitdefender and avast recognize it as virus. I want to allow it but there is any 'no action' option. There are only Move to Chest, Delete and Block. How can I allow it?
Thanks

you move it to chest.....then right click it an upload as false positive...
then you wait for it to be fixed

What about 'Settings - Exclusions'? But don't exclude anything unless you are sure it is safe.

Hi,
I find the way to set a exclusion to that folder. I am not sure if it is safe, it is a very old program I had from somewhere but need it. Last time virus total gave it 4/44, now it increased to 9/43, is it a safe ratio? Here is the link
