First of all, :welcome: to the forum.

Have you checked who this is?

Have a look at click here which may explain who the organisation is that Zonealarm is trying to block. These checks are being constantly carried out all over the place.

I fairly sure you don't need them so let ZA do its stuff.

Don't get too paranoid about the things that ZA tells you about. Most of the time there is nothing untoward. You might consider adjusting the settings of ZA so it doesn't want its hand holding every time it finds something. If you want to know how to do that, either look in ZA help files or wait for someone with more knowledge about ZA to explain. (I don't use ZA).

So, as corporal Jones might say " Don't panic Captain Mainwaring"

Just noted that you're in the USA so my last comment will be pretty meaningless :)
