Thank you. But when I type that (or anything else) into the Bitdefender exceptions box, the "Save" button is not lit/active, and so it still doesn't work. I have contacted Bitdefender, and am awaiting a reply.

Did you just put the path, but not the actual NowPlayer.exe (or whatever the program name is) at the end of it?

BitDefective requires the string you type in to end in ‘.exe’ before it will let you Save.

Many thanks. I have now tried adding '.exe', which does indeed permit "Save" for the Online Threat Prevention button, but still not for the Advanced Threat Defense button - therefore, Now TV is still not working, unless I disable Bitdefender for the period of watching on my PC.

I have now solved the issue. I have found you have to type in "now tv player" twice, including spaces. So the full exception is:

C:\users\[your name]\appdata\roaming\now tv\now tv player\now tv player.exe

Hope this will help others.
