Ctfmon.exe

[Guest]

I read that this is only for using with other languages with MS Office.

Yet every time I remove it from startup....it comes back.
And if I run Microsoft Anti Spyware.....that restores it.

How can I permanently get rid of this .exe?

Miklos, have a look here and maybe you can make a decision.
Good luck.

ctfmon.exe = CTF Loader. Part of Microsoft Office. It activates
the Alternative User Input Text Input Processor (TIP) and the Microsoft
Office XP Language Bar.

When you run a Microsoft Office XP program, the file Ctfmon.exe (Ctfmon)
runs in the background, even after you quit all Office programs.

Ctfmon.exe monitors the active windows and provides text input service
support for speech recognition, handwriting recognition, keyboard,
translation, and other alternative user input technologies.

To prevent Ctfmon.exe from running, follow these steps.
