ACER Empowering Technology pop up on my screen is very frequent causing a lot of clumsy disturbance to viewing the data. Can a suggestion be given to get out of it?

Just disable it from the startup folder or use Revo Uninstaller to remove the whole lot of Acer Empowering Technology.

Why does the logo for Empowering Technology pop up on my screen, at least, 50 times a session? It's blocking me from seeing the screen and impossible to remove. I don't want it, I have never asked for it and it is driving me nuts.
Please get rid of it.
