Let $I$ be an ideal of a commutative Noetherian ring $R$. It is shown that the $R$-modules $H_I^j\left(M\right)$ are $I$-cofinite for all finitely generated $R$-modules $M$ and all $j\in {\mathbb{N}}_0$ if and only if the $R$-modules ${\mathrm{Ext}}_R^i(N,H_I^j\left(M\right))$ and ${\mathrm{Tor}}_i^R(N,H_I^j\left(M\right))$ are $I$-cofinite for all finitely generated $R$-modules $M$, $N$ and all integers $i,j\in {\mathbb{N}}_0$.

Let A be a Noetherian ring, let M be a finitely generated A-module and let Φ be a system of ideals of A. We prove that, for any ideal in Φ, if, for every prime ideal of A, there exists an integer k(), depending on , such that ${}^{k\left(\right)}$ kills the general local cohomology module $H_{{\Phi }_{}}^j\left(M_{}\right)$ for every integer j less than a fixed integer n, where ${\Phi }_{}:={}_{}:\in \Phi$, then there exists an integer k such that ${}^k{H}_{\Phi }^j\left(M\right)=0$ for every j < n.
