With all due respect, I believe you answered your own question. According to what you posted above the issue didn't occur until you installed Comodo. But, even then only after an issue with the software occurred which you were unaware of until you run the Comodo diagnostics.
Personally, I believe all software firewalls are a waste of space and computer resources. A properly configured router which contains a hardware firewall (most produced in the last 5 years have it) is the best protection from intrusion. Many users are mis-informed as to the purpose of firewalls. Firewalls to not stop malware from entering your computer through browsing and downloading. A firewall only protects your local network from intrusions of those attempting to access your network in an unauthorized manner. Even if a user wants to use a software firewall, the built-in Windows firewall is more than sufficient.
If it were my computer I would remove all security related software using Revo, run Ccleaner and Glary Utilities to find left over registry entries and finally perform a search in regedit for each uninstalled software. Once I had completed the aforementioned, I would re-install Avast, turn on Windows firewall then read up on how to configure your brand of router for the best security. One feature to focus on in the router's security capabilities is MAC address filtering. Essentially, this option, if available, blocks any and all computers from accessing your network unless the MAC address of the computer in question has been added to the "Allowed" list of computers. This type of security is in-penetrable. Basically, this means if I don't invite your computer to join my network you won't get in..
