My antivirus's firewall blocks certain pages.

I am using Nod32.Recently, I noticed that when I enter a certain movie site (comicbookmovie.com,which I visit since 5 years), my antivirus firewall blocks a certain page from opening in that site.When I turn it off, the problem is solved.However, I noticed something very strange.When I am logged in my account in that site, I can't visit that certain page.However, when I log out, I can open it without any problems, even though my firewall is turned on.So basically, my firewall blocks that page when I am logged in my account and does nothing when I am not.Any idea why this might be happening?I am thinking of changing my antivirus software.Thank you.

https vs. http maybe?

Check the url of the page you're visiting when both logged on and logged off. One guess would be that when you're not logged on, it's not secure (HTTP port 80) which is allowed through your firewall. However, when you're logged on, the page is secure (HTTPS port 443 or some specialized port#) which is not allowed (for whatever reason) through your firewall.

The link is the same both when logged on or off (it starts with http://).What does that mean?Does it still reveals what the problem is, and if yes, what should I do to fix it?Should I turn off my firewall temporarily every time the issue occurs and then turn it on afterwards, or should I change my antivirus software?
