I know it's opening backdoors on my pc. . .so I need a free program that'll do it, or some registry values to delete to keep it from coming back. Thank you.

Answer 1

here's very detailed description of ctfmon.exe : http://www.2-spyware.com/file-ctfmon-exe.html
this file belongs to windows operating system and if you delete it, you may cause yourself a lot of problems. however this file might be used by several malwares, but i still wouldn't recommend to remove ctfmon.exe.

you need to run anti-spyware and delete malicious programs from your computer, but not the essential windows file.
