File: tfswctrl.exe
Name: Drive Letter Access Component
Product: DirectCD
Manufacturer: HP, Veritas, Sonic Solutions
Risk factor (Virus/Trojan/Spyware): 
Drive letter access to HP's and Veritas' version of DirectCD. Does the same thing as DirectCD. From HP - "This is a needed file as it controles the readability of the Combo drives. Without this file loading the end user will be able to burn CD's but wont be able to read them. The drive itself will be able to read store bought master Cd's without the file but not burnt ones"

 | This is caused by the Veritas file 'tfswctrl.exe'. From the Windows desktop click on start- search Go to the ‘All Files or Folders’ option and type in “tfswctrl”. Once Windows has located the file, rename their file type suffix(e.g. tfswctrl.exe to tfswctrl.ex_ or tfswctrl.sys to tfswctrl.sy_).

 | Made by Veritas, came pre-installed on my IBM ThinkPad A31, this app frequently crashes when I "un-hibernate" the laptop

 | It was installed on my Dell computer which includes Sonic CD writer software. DO NOT install Direct CD as well. The system will be unstable because of conflicts because both are loaded at startup.

 | installed a Plextor PX-16A DVD Burner in my Dell 2400. Every time I insert a DVD to play, the computer "dumps" completely shuts down. When I turn off the tfswctrl, everything works fine.

 | This program is NOT-essential, but SHOULD NOT be terminated unless causing severe problems

 | It has a unique payload of orbit byte twisters. It can be used to adapt write requests to network requests by a simple switch.

 | My 3.2 GHz computer frequently lapses into slow motion, processes everything at a snail's pace, Only solution is to reboot. While the machine is trying to shut down I get the message twfsctrl is not responding.
