Should I disable Defense+ on Comodo Firewall?

The Network Defense protects as a normal firewall does, but I feel that the Defense+ portion has way too many alerts when I do just about anything. As I've used it, the alerts have steadily decreased but its still annoying. Also it has auto blocked things from good programs like Avira, Super Antispyware and Malwarebytes. Is it blocking functions of these programs which it shouldn't be? Also how do I prevent it from ever blocking good processes like these antivirus/malware? And is Defense+ a very important part of the firewall, or is the traditional part of the firewall (Network Defense) enough? Also is there a way to prevent it from popping up so often and randomly blocking stuff?
