Get rid of the ctfmon C:\WINDOWS\system32\ctfmon.exe

Also I recommend un-installing Yahoo Toolbar. It uses alot of resources on startup. Toolbars are bloatware.

Done, and whenever i fix the C:\WINDOWS\system32\ctfmon.exe entry, it comes back :cool:
 
Here's Instructions for disabling it:

1. Click Start, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel.
2. In the Control Panel, double-click Text Services.NOTE: In Windows XP, click Date, Time, Language, and Regional Options, and then click Regional and Language Options. On the Languages tab, click Details.

3. Under Installed Services, select each input item that is listed, and then click Remove to remove the item. All items must be removed, one by one, except the following input service:
English (United States)- default Keyboard United States 101
 
This is what i had to do...go through every process on your list that you are iffy about, type in the process name in google, and it well tell u what it does, where it came form, who own's it, and whether or not u should keep it.
