    Hello and Welcome to Wilders!

    If you have sent the file to samples or support @eset.com they will add detection for it if necessary

    The VirusTotal report can no longer be accessed but it showed the file is flagged as trojan by some vendors which means it is probably malicious

    Thanks for the welcome.

    Anyways, this file is not the original cftmon.exe in the system32 folder.

    I uploaded the original ctfmon.exe in system32 folder and this is what virustotal reported: http://www.virustotal.com/vt/en/resultadox?20369024f53b81318e5f1b0b303a395a

    Definitely there's something in the first file I submitted.

    Hi Anusha, could you scan it again at VT please? Eset have added a definition in the latest signature release (2119) that i think will now detect it :)

    (so long as VT have updated to 2119)

    A classic "same name" poser. ctfmon is actually a perfectly legit program, or should I say... the "REAL" ctfmon.

    Yes, yes. ctfmon.exe is a legit exe associated with Windows text services (language bar etc.). Either this was a poser or an infected ctfmon.exe.
