Avast 7 web shield if enabled effectively disabled Comodo Firewall.
Disabling web shield allows the firewall to function properly again.

Okay, after installing the 8 Preview on a virtual machine, I've got Avast up and running. Now someone tells me on another thread that 8 already had Windows Defender installed and I don't need Avast. Will I be having problems with these two conflicting, and does the newest version of Avast work well on Windows 8?
