I do not think you can get rid of it, and I never heard that it causes a lot of CTD's but if it does then you should post in the Bug reports forum and describe how this is happening.
 
As I've said before, I've only experienced this crash a couple of times, so I wouldn't go along with "a lot of CTDs". But Third Angel is right anyway.
