Get rid of comodo and install Windows Security Essentials

Try adding the game folder to the exceptions list of antivirus, so it doesn't gets checked every time. But do a manual scan beforehand so you can be sure there isn't anything there.
For networking play, if it applies, make sure the game has enough permissions on the firewall, and the ports it uses are opened.

I've used Comodo and it caused me some issues with Steam games;

to fix I added Steam.exe and the Steam folder to the exceptions of Defense+ and Firewall.
Also a good idea to select Trust this program and allow all notifications from Steam.

Odd, i've not had a issue using comodo suite. Usually on first time use comodo will ask for permissions to set a rule on the specific application/applications. Steam games work with no problems and can play online for me. There's probably a rule that wasn't set, at least that's what i'm assuming but usually comodo will ask you if you want to set a rule. This is why i'm a bit stumbled with as to why comodo would block the application even after a update.
