A few suggestions:

1. You may be hitting the touchpad with your palm while typing. This is a
common occurrence with laptops. Some laptops have the ability to disable
the touchpad when you know you're going to do a lot of typing. Refer to the
Acer manual or website for how to do this.

2. Adjust the sensitivity of the touchpad from the Control Panel applet.
