How do I allow programs that generate "high" or "severe" alerts in MS Security Essentials?

Microsoft Security Essentials seems to allow only quarantine or delete actions for program that it deems to have "high" or "severe" risk.

However, it also assigns these levels to what it considers to be "hacking tools".

Is there a way to override this nanny behaviour and force programs on the allowed list?

Thank you.

Here's a screenshot showing the lack of an "Allow" option in the drop-down list: http://img820.imageshack.us/img820/3870/msse.png
