Will having Comodo's Defense+ (HIPS) feature enabled, cause any conflicts with Threatfire, which is behavioral based?

I tried the two together in the past without conflict.
Defense+ would alert before the threat hit your hard drive whereas Threatfire would see the behaviour afterwards. Its use would be if you made a mistake and allowed something you should have blocked. That is why many of us ran the old Comodo Firewall with Defense+ without any antivirus without problems.

Thanks 
I may uninstall ThreatFire though, it uses resources (not many, but I need as much as I can get) and I am a safe browser and have a solid AV (avast!) and Firewall (Comodo)

For what it's worth.
Alwil, has changed their rather ambiguous statement about Avast's new behavior shield to this:
