    I keep getting an annoying pop-up. I attach an image of it. It is obviously something to do with Acer, the manufacturer of my PC. I have no idea why this has started popping up. I would like to be able to stop it. Any ideas, suggestions or help would be gratefully appreciated.

    Googling Acer BYOC will explain what it is, but in order to stop it kicking off automatically d/load and install Microsoft Autoruns. Use the Filter function to find and disable it.

    EDIT - you don't have to install Autoruns, just extract its files and run the exe.
