Hi Kumar, But when we enable smart access, we will not know to whom McAfee is giving the Internet access. 

I have enabled the monitored access to see what application are trying to gain internet access. If I want to give access I allow else deny / block their internet access.

This alertviewer hangs everything and creating a problem.
