These connections work because they being routed through the Avast proxy and it shouldn't be happening this way, it's making a mockery of the firewall(s). It will also succeed, again without an explicit rule Now open any application that uses a direct connection over TCP port 80 for updates and try to update. This time it will succeed, even though it still doesn't have a rule of it's own. Reopen you browser and try to make a connection.

Now add a rule to allow AvastSvc.exe to make outbound connections. Try to make a connection with a browser - it should fail because there's no rule to allow the connection. Install Avast 7 and make sure everything works correctlyĬhange the properties of the Windows 7 firewall profiles, so that 'Outbound connections that do not match a rule are blocked' Just thought I'd let you know the problem's not confined to Comodo firewall, it also happens with the Windows 7 firewall and it's not just about firefox.
