    im just full of questions today.

    what is this running in my processes?

    ctfmon.exe??

    when i go to msconfig and disable it it just comes right back.

    i sure hope its not a virus because nod32 isnt picking it up.

    the way to get rid of it is this:

    go to control panel > regional and language options > languages tab > click details... > advanced tab > click "turn off advanced text services"

    disappears like magic!

    When you install Office, if you choose any other services to be installed(other than the default ones) then you get cftmon.exe loading at startup, anytime you use office and basically as it pleases...
    Falls into the category of "sneakware"

    Yes thanks for that.

    I read some where an official description of what it was for but I have forgotten it !

    Duuh
