cftmon.exe is a part of the Microsoft Office suite and handles speech input for this product. This program is a non-essential process, but should not be terminated unless suspected to be causing problems.

Cauldbum and Bungler
You have both cited CFTMON (capitals for clarity) in your posts, I hope you mean CTFMON? If the file is named CFTMON it is probably a Trojan.
CTFMON is a process used by Microsoft Office for the Language Bar and Speech & Handwriting recognition. Even if you don’t have MS Office it will be present with IE7 for IE7's Language bar.
If you don't need the functionality, stop it from starting up by going to Start > Control Panel > Regional and Language Options > Languages Tab > Details > Advanced tab then put a tick in ‘Turn off advanced text services’ and hit Apply. This removes ctfmon.exe from the running processes and from starting up on boot up. However, it sometimes reappears after an IE7 update.
