Remove it in Add/Remove Prog. It is not a vital program, it will not damage your computer if it is removed. Harmful if left installed, unless you like people taking information about your viewing habits and what files you have on your computer. After you uninstall, go to Search, type cfd.exe, and delete the file it left behind. Also, people you DO NOT need that crappy SBC software to connect to the internet!!

All I know is that for months after getting DSL installed, the computer would freeze up on me. I'm going to deny access to see if that clears up the freezing problem. Thanks

I used add/remove programs to delete the CFD.exe file... then did a search to see it was removed and i found CFD.EXE-01772012.pf any thoughts on why this wasn't there before?

Remove It or Block Access w/ZoneAlarm, etc.

CFD also uses other programs and links through the Dynamic links Library to access the internet. I have had 46 instances of this. Similarly to your comments I don't know what it was doing either but, once removed everything has speeded back up again. I too believe that it appears to have come from the NTL broadband installation CD

From McAfee 10/01/06 BroadJump DSL Client Foundation The BroadJump DSL Client Foundation program is provided by your Internet service provider (ISP). This program automates many different tasks, such as automated updates, as well as anti-virus and line-condition testing. This program is also used before a high-speed install is ordered, in order to pre-qualify a person based upon distance and line condition. While its exact functions differ from ISP to ISP, these functions are often viewed as beneficial. If you block the BroadJump client from communicating, these functions will not work properl

It is part of Broadjump client managment. It is the trouble shooting software installed with some DSL packages

I spent weeks trying to figure this out !! I even asked the tech's at RR they told me they never heard of it .!!! UNBElievable! I did block it on EZ Firewall and it and all other resources improved the same as Halsey's .

Bundled with ATT SBCYahoo! DSL, Panda Antivirus and a number of others block internet connections made with Broadjump Client Foundation (cfd.exe). Apparently, Antivirus, Malware, Spyware, etc., considers this to be an unnecessary risk to your computer and software environment. As it seems to be an unmonitered communication to and from the internet and hidden while running, it may be an unnecesssary threat in so far as the user doesn't run the application, ie-automated. It doesn't seem that tech support from your ISP needs to have it installed on your computer to determine connection problem

Freezing up, cpu usage 100%, kicked off, BUT IN ADDITION TO whenever I allow zone alarm to let cfd.exe run instead of denying it... My computer would have sporatic clicking like there was a phantom using my computer with me?.
   

i use to use ntl's tv.phone and broadband using a setup topbox, when i did this i never had this file running. When i ended my phone and tv then gave back my topbox an engineer came and installed a broadband modem gave me a setup cd n fled. Once i set up my new broadband via the modem-this file turned up. On my start up cd there was broadband, a broadband medic n netguard anti virus program. I think this file is related to the broadband medic program. It is certainly a broadband file.
