For Comodo, I found the sandbox a bit too agressive when it was enabled so I disabled it but left the other options still selected so I can manually open a program in the Sandbox if I need to.

Once you've been using Comodo for a few days, it will build a list of the programs that need internet connections and you can use the PC Clean mode without too many pop-ups.

For a more simpler AV app, why not try MSE (Microsoft Security Essentials) it's free and works great, which in-turn uses MS own firewall, which in MHO does a decent enough job. It's what a lot of of us use.

For Avast, in "setting" for each scan type (quick/full scan and real time scan). Set the "Sensitivity" to HIGH
Comodo, go to "More" tab and click Manage My Configuration and choose Proactive Security
You also can go to Firewall tab and click Stealth Ports Wizard and choose "Blocking all...."
