To Lynn from Norma, Here's the answer:
EFW File Extension
      File Type  Renamed Zip or Executable File
      Category Compressed Files
      Common? No
      File Description 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.
      NOTE: Do not open unknown e-mail attachments from non-trusted sources, 
as they may contain viruses or other malicious programs.
      Program(s) that open efw files  Mac OS  Allume Systems Stuffit 
Expander
             BOMArchiveHelper (included with Mac OS X)

           Windows  WinZip
             WinAce
             PKZip
             Bitberry BitZipper
