3CX Phone System needs to be able to interact with services on the server where it is installed for proper functionality. In some cases, Anti-Virus software can stop 3CX Phone System from accomplishing this. This can cause certain issues where voice mails aren't recorded or saved properly. In this example we will configure AVG Internet Security 2012 so that it doesn't interrupt services required by 3CX Phone System by adding them to the "Potentially Unwanted Programs Exceptions" list.
Adding 3CX as an Exception in AVG
- Open the AVG console from the system tray.
- Open “Tools” and “Advanced Settings”.
- Next, scroll down to the “Potentially Unwanted Programs” tab and add each of the 3CX Phone System processes to this list, as shown in the above screenshot, by pressing "Add exception" and browsing to the location of the 3CX services. You will find 3CX Phone System services here: C:\Program Files(x86)\3CX PhoneSystem\Bin or simply under Program Files depending on whether your system is 32 or 64 Bit.
This procedure can be accomplished with other Anti-Virus software packages, though the steps may differ depending on the software and version you are using.
