The fw.sys file is a system process that is packaged with the SecuRemote Miniport software, and the fw.sys file contains source code that includes program-specific instructions, system module references, program-specific modular resource directives and sequential command lines implemented by the firmware and driver software components of supported hardware devices from Check Point Software Technologies. The content of the fw.sys file is encoded with program logic compilation specifications and data storage/compression standards that are normally implemented into files with the .sys extension. The fw.sys file and the SecuRemote Miniport software are bundled with the firmware and driver resource components of supported hardware devices from Check Point Software Technologies.

Most non-system processes that are running can be stopped because they are not involved in running your operating system. fw.sys. is used by Check Point SecuRemote Miniport, If you shut down fw.sys, it will likely start again at a later time either after you restart your computer or after an application start.
