I’m very familiar with Avast and OA, and I’ve had no conflict with the Flash issue. However I always uninstall ALL versions of Flash prior to installing an updated version and reboot in between each install (I use the Flash Uninstaller tool).
As posted earlier in this thread, the way to do your exclusions for Avast and OA remains the same no matter what version you are using.
Let us know if you have any other questions. We are probably quicker to answer them here. 
so basically i exclude the OA program folder in the file shield and in online armor exclude the avast processes AVAST.SETUP, AVASTSVC.EXE ?
is that all or have i missed a step?
also when you say remove all flash do you mean withe adobe uninstall or revo uninstaller or some other too?
and what i meant by guide was likr MBAM has for avast
or Avast see the instructions below:Set Exclusions for Malwarebytes’ Anti-Malware in Avast! Antivirus 6 (Free, Pro and Internet Security):

Antivirus Free, Pro and Internet Security in Malwarebytes’ Anti-Malware:
Open Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware and click on the Ignore List tab Click on the Add button on the lower left In the small browse window that opens, navigate to C:\Program Files and click once on avast software and click on OK Close Malwarebytes' Anti-MalwareAs for the OA firewall as long as Malwarebytes can update itself after OA is installed you should be fine but to be on the safe side you can do this:
Note: Please make sure that in the web filter, that you add the following as a trusted site:
data-cdn.mbamupdates.com
(1) And AVASTUI.EXE if you have it there?
(2) Remove flash with the Adobe uninstaller.
(3)All systems have different software so there is no guide list, which is why you set OA to trust everything on your system, OA should auto learn everything else.
one last thing is i do some testing for a company OA wont effect my connection to the software repo would it?
It shouldn’t do, test and see.

ok this is sorta off topic but sorta not oa keeps blocking dll my games from runningim currently trying to play quest fir glorry 5 which i bought from gog and every time the game loads a new scene i have to approve it im tierd of ticking trust and member my answer id rather have oa then not but it is getting annoying i
Until someone with more experience with OA comes along try the OA forum link I provided you in reply 19.
Another idea is to tick the “install” box on the OA pop-up. It’s been a while since I used OA so I’m winging it from memory.
well im not stuck on online armor i could always uninstall would you recommend privitefirewall for somone like me
You can always try it. Download PF> uninstall OA> re-boot> install PF> re-boot.

ok i ill eill give it a go right now of course id have to figure out exclusions again and could you help me config it to be non intrusive yet protective as i seem to recall languy doing a review back in o9 and its reactions was to ask about every single new process
After you download OA and do everything that I suggested, OA require two (2) reboots. Make sure you put your exclusions in prior to doing the reboots. There is a new version of OA out now 5.5.0.1616, which should bring you to the updated version when it automatically does the update after the reboots, or you can manually do an update if you have the Free version. Reboot again twice if you get the newer version.
When installing a newer version of software, including MS/Windows Updates, I usually put OA into Learning Mode. As mentioned earlier, each software like Flash, has it’s own Uninstaller. It is best to uninstall ALL versions of Flash prior to installing the newest version and reboot after each uninstall and install – this is actually very easy and quick to do. You can save the Flash Uninstaller tool on your desktop since they change it so often (or if you need the memory put it on a stick). Then install one version of Flash (IE), and if needed a plug in (e.g. Firefox, etc.) one at a time with a reboot in between while OA is in Learning Mode.
Once done, take a look at OA Programs > unclick “Hide Trusted” to see that everything on the left column is check off in green. If it is not in green (meaning allowed), then right click it and a pop-up will appear and you can “Allow it” if it was a new software you just installed. Once done, click “Hide Trusted” again to minimize your list in OA. The go to the bottom of your toolbars, right click on OA, and then left click on Learning Mode to take it out of Learning Mode and put it into the Mode you want (Standard or Advanced).
Let us know if you have any questions.
well surely that is just a problem that comodo has with avast…i cant believe comodo cannot control outbound traffic under windows 7.i dont think this is correct and i dont think comodo would of overlooked something that critical.
