PropelAC.exe is the process name for a variety of differently branded browser accelerator programs distributed by various dialup internet providers. It works by altering Internet Explorer proxy settings and as such when not running IE will not work properly. Uninstalling Propel should automaticly remove these proxy settings, though they may need to be removed manually on occasion.

I know that when it is enabled on my PC running windows XP it keeps causing Norton Liveupdate to disconnect several times before the update succeeds.

Beware removing Bellsouth Accelerator from Add/Remove Programs. If fried my IE and Bellsouth tech support could/would not help me but rather directed me to my current DSL provider. Luckily, I still had the install program on my desktop and after re=installing IE worked fine. It must be removed from the Bellsouth Accelerator in "all programs".

It is an internet accelerator I had installed from IServ Dial-up services.

It is an internet accelerator. I have it and mine was provided through Core.com. It hurts nothing and with mine my pages load on my browser whether I use it or not.
