Web Filtering still blocking sites.

So I added a few sites to my web filter to allow traffic but they are still getting blocked. Some I have added *.google.com to allow for google services to download yet I get a 403. Then another site is the US Gov Trademark search that gets block because there is an .exe in the link name

US Gov link: Trademark Electronic Search System (TESS)

Filter I created for that site was: ^http?://*.uspto.gov* as well as the link above.

When I watch the live log I see this:

2012:05:03-15:59:03 astaro-firewall httpproxy[20829]: id="0064" severity="info" sys="SecureWeb" sub="http" name="web request blocked, forbidden file extension detected" action="block" method="GET" srcip="***.***.***.xx" dstip="151.207.245.83" user="" statuscode="403" cached="0" profile="REF_DefaultHTTPProfile (Default Proxy)" filteraction="REF_DefaultHTTPCFFAction (Default content filter action)" size="4837" request="0xaf2f458" url="http://tess2.uspto.gov/bin/gate.exe?f=login&p_lang=english&p_d=trmk" exceptions="" error="" category="117" reputation="trusted" categoryname="Government/Military" extension="exe" filename="gate.exe" reason="extension"


If I remove .exe from my Anti-virus/malware section it works. Is there a way I can get this link to work with still having .exe in the anti-virus/malware section? This same error happens when Google Chrome tries to download updates or I tried to install Google Apps for Outlook on a new workstation.
