no user		Added by the RAIDYS TROJAN! Note - this should not be confused with the valid Office XP file, see here 7 11 Report Abuse
no user		CTFMon is involved with the language/alternative input services in Office XP. Ctfmon.exe will continue to put itself back into MSConfig when you run the Office XP apps as long as the Text Services and Speech applets in the Control Panel are enabled. Not required if you don't need these features. For more info on ctfmon see CIADOOR-Jhere. Ctfmon can be disabled from Control Panel, Text & Speech Services. Note - the file will always be located in the System32 folder, if it is located elsewhere it will likely be a worm or trojan! Can cause problems with some other programs if left enabled - see CIADOOR-Jhere for such an example 8 0 Report Abuse

David Gonzalez		It sure would help to know whether this System 32 item is necessary or not. Some people say it is, others say it isn\'t. 0 0 Report Abuse
Taylor		A process connected to the microsoft office suite. As long as it is in the windows system 32 folder it is safe and should not be disabled. If it is in another folder it is most likely a trojan and should be deleted immediately.  More information 0 0 Report Abuse

gaga		Ctfmon.exe activates the Alternative User Input Text Input Processor (TIP) and the Microsoft Office Language Bar. This program is a non-essential system process, but should not be terminated unless suspected to be causing problems. Note: ctfmon.execould also be a process which is registered as a trojan. This Trojan allows attackers to access your computer from remote locations, stealing passwords, Internet banking and personal data. This process is a security risk and should be removed from your system. The ctfmon.exe file is located in the C:\\Windows\\System32 folder. In other cases, ctfmon.exe is a virus, spyware, trojan or worm!  More information 1 0 Report Abuse

Eyes_and_Teeth		Cyberlion\'s Startup Optimizer calls this program mal-ware. Text as follows: Added by the RAIDYS Trojan! Note - this should not be confused with the valid Office XP file, see here (with a [link] to Microsoft.com product info site for ctfmon.exe ) For the record, I am *still* in the process of trying to eliminate this. I have \"wiped\" it repeatedly, but it still re-appears on start-up... Wish me luck!  More information 0 0 Report Abuse
Steve		Never use it. So it was turned off and things run better. A waste of space, and time if not used all the time 0 0 Report Abuse
