Anywhere else, and I'd be worried. Additional information on ctfmon.exe: QUOTE What Does the Ctfmon.exe File Do? Ctfmon.exe monitors the active windows and provides text input service support for speech recognition, handwriting recognition, keyboard, translation, and other alternative user input technologies. Frequently asked questions about Ctfmon.exe If you don't use this service, then it's OK to stop it from running at Startup. See the above link, on how to disable Ctfmon.exe from running at startup.
