Hello,
Arcsoft is a suite of media handling programs. Arcsoft Connect is used for online connection (updates, new goodies etc). It would be odd if you have 'Connect' without any other of their products, so you might want to uninstall those first if they exist
In order to remove that from your computer lets try these methods.
Method 1:
If it is installed into C:\Program Files, you may be able to uninstall it via programs and features.
To do that follow the link provided below.

Method 2:
Try disabling the "ArcSoft Connect Daemon" service from Services before you start.
To do that you need to follow these steps:
1. Click on start button.
2. Type in services.msc in the search field.
3. Now locate the "ArcSoft Connect Daemon" service and right click on it and select disable.
Now reboot the computer and check if the issue gets resolved.
Method 3:
If the above method doesn't resolve the issue, you may try downloading the windows installer cleanup utility and install it on your computer and try removing the arcsoft program and check for the issue.
To do that you need to follow the links provided below.
