ctfmon.exe virus won't go away?

I have been getting this ctfmon.exe virus every day on my Win XP Pro computer..... I deleted it several times, used Malwarebytes & Hitman to remove it, yet it still keeps coming back

I also disabled it in msconfig, the next boot-up it re-appears

Does anyone know how to get rid of it permanently ? somewhere in a Registry Key ? thanks

    Open the Control Panel, click on Regional and Language Options, on the Language tab there, then on the Details button under Text Services and Input Languages and there on the Advanced tab again.

    Check the Turn off advanced text services box and ctfmon.exe will not be loaded during system startup anymore. You can activate it the same way by unchecking the box.
