Hi,
If you want this process to stop using a lot of your CPU, but it keep re-appearing when you end task, do as follow:
Open task manager (cltr-alt-delete) - Click Task manager
Go under the 'Details' tab
Find all the 'acwebbrowser.exe' processes or the one you want gone.
Right click, 'set priority' and 'low'
It worked for me
