Hello simon_porter00 and welcome to TomCoyote forums. When you make changes ZoneAlarm is just doing it's job when something that appears new asks for access. Both of those are valid requests, read this information:

cfd.exe = http://www.liutilities.com/products/wintas…esslibrary/cfd/
spooler subsystem = http://www.mcse.ms/message1786556.html
has to do with printers and is most likely valid.
When you get a request like that from ZA, you can click on the request to get more information or just enter the item into Google to get information about it. I also suggest you do this. RIGHT click the ZA icon in the system try then choose Restore Zone Alarm Control Center. Then on the right near the top in bold black letters is a TUTORIAL. I suggest you review the tutorial and also the information under the ?Help word just above that.

Since your HJT log is clean, here is some great information from Tony Klein, Texruss, ChrisRLG and Grinler to help you stay clean and safe online:
