What is the Ctfmon.exe process?

(Note: Ctfmon.exe is not necessarily a virus, ctfmon.exe may also be part of the Microsoft Office product suite.) It can select a user text entry program, and Microsoft Office XP Language bar. This is not a pure system program, but if you terminate it, it may cause an unknown problem. ）

If your Win2000 system installed OfficeXP or above, it will leave a ctfmon.exe in you and the system, this is really a demon, once troubled countless netizens. Today, I am determined to hold the sword of righteousness, chop demon to remove demons, but also a net friend a pure Chinese and English input space!

Before I execute it, let me read his guilt:
1. No matter what window you open, always pops up an input method tool body, and the default is Chinese input, very annoying.
2. It replaces the original locale and input method settings, replacing it with the settings of a text service, and cannot set the default input method.
3. End the original Input method tool process Internat.exe, and so he can not start on the boot.
4. Put yourself on the boot on the list of programs, unless you modify the registry, otherwise can not be removed.
5. Like a virus with the ability to regenerate, when you delete the Ctfmon.exe, he will be rebuilt with Office startup.
6. When you end the Ctfmon.exe, often appear in the input method switch shortcut keys out of chaos.

OK, after the Supreme Programmer's Trial Chamber approval, now executes the dead line to the Ctfmon.exe, executes immediately!

The first step: right click on the taskbar space, point to Task Manager.
Step two: Find the Ctfmon.exe and terminate it.
Step three: In the system directory under the System32 directory to find Ctfmon.exe, delete.
The fourth step: Write a simplest API program (code see appendix), compile and put it in the Ctfmon.exe directory, and renamed to Ctfmon.exe.

Fifth step: Click "Start" menu, click "Run", enter Internat.exe after click OK.
Sixth step: Restart the computer.

Execution Complete!

Report:
1. The program code is as follows:
#include <windows.h>
int Apientry WinMain (hinstance, HINSTANCE, LPTSTR, int)
{
HANDLE M_hmutex = CreateMutex (NULL, TRUE, "Ctfmon.exe");
if (GetLastError ()!= error_already_exists)
while (1) sleep (INFINITE);
return 0;
}
