I agree the original problem is the anti-virus which is acting as a "man in the 
middle" and intercepting all your web 
traffic. Avast will do the same thing unless you tell it to stop. You can see 
what's happening in Firefox with addons 
like  Calomel SSL validation

If you want to get a good handle on the native Windows Firewall, look at 
"windows firewall control" which has 
useful profiles, a log viewer & investigator, and a nice way to configure 
Windows firewall rules. I mostly use it to 
restrict programs calling out. Vista + I think.
