Okay so I tried all the methods above, and the only one that actually killed it was to go into task manager, under "startup" right click the Autodesk icon and disable, then go into "details" and right click -> "end process tree" on the autodesk desktop program. That immediately killed all the clones of acwebbrowser.exe, and my computer is finally silent again...

I just found out that process too, and as I was reading the replies, obviously it's the Autodesk Desktop App running in the background, looking for updates for your installed Autodesk products. What amazes me is that nobody (Even the Autodesk Specialists...) suggested to simply uninstall the Autodesk Desktop App from the Control Panel... Just sayin'
