Press ALT+CTRL+DELETE. Do you see an app called CTFMON.EXE?


Recommended Posts

I was going through my computer's Task Manager trying to cut down on memory when I saw this little app running. What the @#&^ is it? I tried removing it from startup, which I did but it keeps coming back...I have no idea what it is, why it's there or what it's doing. I have apps that I have no clue what the hell they are...
