+McBack Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 A little bit more from http://www.fileinfo.com/extension/efw Compressed .ZIP or executable .EXE file renamed by CA Security Centre to have a ".efw" extension; typically applies to e-mail attachments scanned by Computer Associates (CA) antivirus software. EFW zipped files may be opened by changing the file extension to ".zip" and opening the file with a decompression utility, such as WinZip or Stuffit Expander; executable files may be run directly by changing the file extension to ".exe" and opening the file.

+Tequila Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 What's a 'floppy disk'? That thought went through my mind too. How quickly some once essential tools have gone the way of the buggy whip. I remember a local company that had written a dental office management package and they did their data back up to a VCR. Link to comment
+StarBrand Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 Just as a side note - some of today's "security suite" software just causes more problems then they solve. Overtly slow scans, changing file names, bizzare restictions etc. A good idea gone too far. Responsible for about 40% of 'missing' emails in my experience. Slows many computers to a crawl for simple tasks. Link to comment
+tozainamboku Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 I thought pocket caches were banned. Link to comment
