ctfmon.exe

I apologize if “ctfmon.exe” has already been discussed. It took me a long while working with ProcessGuard to get to it to run on my system without causing me more problems than solutions. I now seem to have a handle on it. The only alert I continuous get when I restart my computer has to do with ctfmon.exe. I get the following alerts:

ctfmon.exe was blocked from creating a global CBT hook
ctfmon.exe was blocked from creating a global GetMessage hook
ctfmon.exe was blocked from creating a global Shell hook

Should I allow this executable to set the hook mentioned above?

Thanks,

I looked up ctfmon.exe here: http://www.liutilities.com/products/wintaskspro/processlibrary/ctfmon/

It is a legitimate file, so if you use it, then I think you should allow it to gain the permissions it wants.

Alternatively, you could remove ctfmon.exe from your startup list (I don't know if you use it though).

 

I would definitely get rid of ctfmon.exe from your autostart lineup, it is not generally needed. You can find out how to do that here:-
