As the pack seems to cause troubles with programs that need access to the web, it seems likely that CFT would be un-affected. It is the new firewall and security patches that cause trouble. Nevertheless I would lay low and see what transpires for the next few months unless you are already having trouble. If you have a good 3rd party firewall and a good virus checker you shouldn't worry.
