I had the same problem.
The firewall can only be managed by those who know what ‘system rules’ and ‘packet rules’ are.
You can find these under Tools/Firewall/Settings. There is no option to disable the Firewall, or if there is it is hidden from mere mortals.
I have no clue what system rules and packet rules are so I have been unable to customise the firewall to suit my needs. I uninstalled Avast and now use the W7 Firewall with MSE for antivirus (freeware) and Malwarebytes (freeware) for the trojans etc.
This latest Avast is a backward step. Can we have Avast2013 back again please?
