Hello everyone. I must say Spybot S&D is truly a great tool to get rid of annoying and dangerous malware. I have used it with great effect. :)
However, I still don't know how to get rid of ctfmon.exe from running on my desktop PC. My PC is Windows XP Home Edition, SP2, and it is Korean Windows.
After I run Spybot, in Tools -> System Startup, I uncheck ctfmon.exe which is located in C:\WINDOWS\System32. And when the pop-up dialog shows up, I tick "Remember decision" and click on "Allow Change."
When I restart my computer, it displays the notification pop-up saying that the registry has been changed. And when I check Task Manager, there is no ctfmon.exe running. However, when I open an Internet Explorer window, the notification pop-up shows up saying that ctfmon.exe has been added to my startup list. And when I check the Task Manager, the ctfmon.exe is running.
It would be great if I can get help getting rid of ctfmon.exe from running on my computer at all times. It worked for my notebook (which is English Windows), but doesn't work for my desktop. I thank you all in advance.
