Yes, in control panel you may turn off windows firewall for both public and private.
I would turn off web filtering, yes. It can get in the way.
About viruscope, I usually leave it on, because I don't think it is doing much of anything anyways, for good or for bad. I am always hoping to see it in action.

tanx a lot still not working.. i tried adding exe , folder still nothing.. i thing its a problem of bluestack..
i read few sites they dont recommend to install bluestack with any VM installed... i think in proactive mode bluestack understand comodo as a VM...

I think I had this same problem when I installed Bluestack a few years ago. Maybe I had a virtual machine program installed. I did get it to start eventually. Could be that Comodo is not the problem after all. Here is some information:
BlueStacks app player installation requirements.
If you even have VM software installed, apparently Bluestack can tell. Appears there can be real problems if you run Bluestack and a VM at the same time. If you do have VM software installed, you could remove that and try to reinstall. That worked in a video here, but I don't think it was the same problem.
I saw another suggestion to remove Bluestack from Program and Features and then reinstall to see if it will run then. There may be more that can be tried.

My final decision after heeding your comments. I settled on Comodo Firewall, and Eset AV 2017...
Do You think I made the right choice...Maybe Avast AV? I hear that Cruel Sister has cozied up to that AV.

Guess I'm switching to Avast AV, after reading this:
[AV-Comparatives] Proactive protection against the WannaCry ransomware
Don't read too much into those results. As the author of the test states:
Also the results are irrelevant if you're using Comodo Firewall with cruelsister's settings as any ransomware payload would be automatically sandboxed and unable to affect your system.
If you've got a license for ESET currently I'd suggest continuing to use it. Whether you renew that license once it's run out is your prerogative.

Comodo with the strong settings is enough for me. I have not installed any other AV along side and I do not have Windows Defender running. I run browser sandboxed and that's all. Faster PC than when I used to run AV, after all an AV can scan all the files you open all the files read write and yet fail to protect you, so why give away performance for that?.

You could try AppCheck Anti-Ransom for anti-ransomware, although Comodo should do the job sandboxing any malware. If you really want to go for added rw protection, you could also try 360 Document Protect. It will auto-backup your documents in case of ransomware type of behavior. AppCheck A/RW won't auto backup in the free version.
Avast might be the best companion security to Comodo FWs sandboxing/containment. For the a-v element of your security, you should be mostly looking for additional information on the programs sandboxed/contained by Comodo FW. This is in case you are thinking of installing and running something (software you know) outside Comodo's container, even though it as been contained. For more information on files and .exes I depend on 360 TS with Bitdefender and Avira engines on, while the behavior monitoring in 360 is just a plus also not in Comodo.
Personally ESET will add nothing much in term of protection, not saying possible conflicts when using 2 HIPS. irather stay with WinDef
I also agree with AtlBo. Avast + CF can be a good combo but make sure you check "Use nested virtualization where available" in settings -> troubleshooting
if you want more speed, you can use CF with
they are noticeably faster than avast but they are not as good as avast of course
EDIT: don't use Kaspersky antiransomware with CF because it will become useless

it's better to try first, I have tried Avast free alongside with CFW, when a threat detected, my system was freeze for 5-10 minutes. then Avast notified that it had detected something but the vault is empty. silently on CFW HIPS log, the threat had been scanned and found malicious then successfully quarantined. it's often like this, but it's not on someone else.
CFW alone is strong real time prot. I think it's only on-demand scanner needed like HMP or ZAM.

it's an option in avast to avoid conflict with other virtualization apps such as vmware, virtualbox...
CF also uses hardware virtualization so it might be helpful, I'm not sure

Some people have reported conflicts with Avast, but I would attribute that to the Avast behavior shield. It is the source of most conflicts. If you have a conflict between Avast and something else, uninstall Avast behavior shield, and the prob will probably go away.
If an attack use exploit to inject shellcode to an already running process and does not write any payload to files or start any new processes.
Like UIWIX, all code are running in memory.
In this circumstance, can auto-sanbox protect system?

Comodo has this which I think triggers a response in place of sandbox. Not sure what the options are in case of an alert or if it blocks the exploit you mentioned:
