I just switched over to Open Office and uninstalled everything Works and Word related. Now I wanted to stop ctfmon from auto starting also but no matter what its still there. I found this handle little download. Hope this helps out anyone else who is annoyed by this program.
CTFMon isn’t really related to Word/Works. It will also be placed in autostart, when you install IE7 for example. It’s related to extended text services.
To get rid of it without any additional software, goto
Control Panel → Regional and Language Settings, Languages tab, click Details, select Advanced tab and check “deactivate all extended text services”. This will disable CTFMon!
I have %windir%\system32\ctfmon.exe added to Interprocess memory access to All application policy
this way the number of alerts is dramatically reduced form early CFP versions

@ 3xist: You have to check turn off the advanced text services

Works for me as described by BigMike.
I supose if you remove ctfmon you can’t see foreign scripts or type in them am I correct ?
