Is efaxview.exe safe or is this task spyware?



Purpose of efaxview.exe:









File purpose and description:

This file comes from Efax. Efax is a software program that allows you to receive faxes over your computer for free. It has many paid options also, for example if you want to scan and send faxes, etc., it has paid features which I have found to be very good. Even the free fax allows you to receive faxes in your email box, and even have your own fax phone number. This program is considered safe and is not spyware or adware (if you haven't tried Efax yet, I strongly recommend signing up for the free service at least, as occasionally people may want to fax you something, and this gives you your own private free fax!). (See the details below for the actual location of this file.)

Actual file or task name:
efaxview.exe

File type:
This is an executable program and it is free fax software.

File or folder location:
This program is currently located at c:\windows\efaxview.exe


General information:
Be aware that many tasks will be similiar names to existing tasks or processes. You can always view the running tasks on your computer by pressing ctrl-alt-del to view the windows "task manager", and then view the "processes" tab. This will show you all tasks running or currently active on your PC. Although this shows you all running tasks, it does not show dll file thats are loaded, as they get loaded as part of other processes. Many spyware writers attempt to hide their files on your computer, for example, efaxview.exe may be intentionally misspelled to look like a similiar task, or spyware may be named very similiar to a Windows system task. The reason they do this is so you cannot easily recognize the name in your tasklist as I have mentioned above. Make sure always check the location of the file if you are concerned. You can always find the location of efaxview.exe on your computer by using your Windows search options, but I will also try to list the file location of every file described on this website, so you can verify the correct location.
