This is part of the Egistec.com MyWinLocker encryption software that comes as a trial pay sample with Acer laptops. The process continually checks for updates to the software. If you are not using the software, you can disable the update checking process.

It's an auto updater for mywinlocker suite, which Acer includes as bloatware with its net/notebooks. If you use the program keep it. If you uninstall mywinlocker Egisupdate stays and autostarts. Useless.
