I had the same exact problem, down to setting exceptions. I could get it to work so I just uninstalled it. There are many other alternatives you can choose from. I personally started using Microsoft Security Essentials. I'm reading that Avast Anti-Virus is pretty good. There's also Malwarebytes. All of them are free (unless you have an illegal copy of windows for MSE), update and do the job well with little resources.
