I was alerted by apple? that my computer has a problem i.e. eficheck.dump. I believe that means something to do with my firmware.
I ran TTP which includes EFI System Partition (passed) If that doesn't solve the issue, would a re-install of Mojave rectify it?
I haven't noticed anything untoward since learning about this alert. Any advice anyone?

Because I have a suspicious nature, I'll ask how you got this alert. Do you know if it actually came from Apple?

My memory isn't what it used to be but I think it gave me the option of sending a report to apple. That would suggest it being legit.
However, I'm with you about being wary.

Very suspicious. Tell me there wasn't a link to click in the message?

jon, I had to fix Dw by doing an OS re-install and then enabling SIP but terminal says:
abcs-MacBook-Pro:~ abc$ csrutil enable csrutil: failed to modify system integrity configuration. This tool needs to be executed from the Recovery OS. abcs-MacBook-Pro:~ abc$
How do I do that? Anybody!
jaybass I just went back into recovery and enabled SIP... now OK

You need to boot into Recovery - that's command-R after you hear the startup chime - and once there, search your menu bar for Utilities/Terminal and run the same command. (I think you can do it with just a restart, not a shutdown/restart.) Once back in your boot volume, run to confirm that you got it right.

It takes some time to boot into Recovery, so be patient.

I should have took a screen shot. However, I did sort things out in recovery and now hopefully, everything is fine. There was also a problem with DW, it wouldn't open up but an email from Marc gave me the
instructions to resolve that problem and now, DW will rebuild directory...something new.
