I discovered (well, I didn't see it in the kb!) a little nasty from M&soft.
In ..system32 there is apt to be a little thing called - ctfmon.exe
Located: HK_CU:Run, ctfmon.exe
where: S-1-5-21-1085031214-1229272821-839522115-1003...
command: C:\WINDOWS\system32\ctfmon.exe
file: C:\WINDOWS\system32\ctfmon.exe
size: 15360
This appears to have a mind of its own. It relates to MSOffice and
voice or handwriting input.
Like a virus, once started, it is re-started at every re-boot..
In many, if not most, situations it is generally harmless.
BUT in 2 of 4 systems here it caused goodly DPC spikes (1400+ ms) until
disabled.
Instructions for disabling/un-installing can be found by searching for
it at microsoft.com
It has, I understand been seen as a virus under the same and other
names, but usually NOT in system32.
