I am using Firewall App Blocker to easily create outbound rules.
http://www.softpedia.com/get/Security/Firewall/Firewall-App-Blocker.shtmlFor example I am trying to stop some player from "phoning" home every time I open video file with it.
That is working great when Web Shield is disabled or option for known browser processes is checked.

Is Comodo 5.12 version light on system ?
Edit:
Actually,I found out that Comodo firewall is also affected with this bug in Web Shield.
I know many Avast fanboys will say that culprits are firewalls and i would agree with that if WF is
not affected also.It is native built-in Windows 7 firewall that should work with Avast Free (and Web Shield).
Otherwise,Avast simply is not compatible with Windows 7.
Thanks.
