Advent AIO Software
Overview
Advent AIO Software is a software program developed by Advent. The most common release is 2.1.4.0, with over 98% of all installations currently using this version. Upon being installed, the software adds a Windows Service which is designed to run continuously in the background. Manually stopping the service has been seen to cause the program to stop functing properly. It adds a background controller service that is set to automatically run. Delaying the start of this service is possible through the service manager. The software is designed to connect to the Internet and adds a Windows Firewall exception in order to do so without being interfered with. The primary executable is named adaioprintertools.exe. The setup package generally installs about 77 files and is usually about 59.01 MB (61,873,925 bytes). The installed file AdventAIOUpdater.exe is the auto-update component of the program which is designed to check for software updates and notify and apply them when new versions are discovered. Relative to the overall usage of users who have this installed on their PCs, most are running Windows 10 and Windows 7 (SP1). While about 95% of users of Advent AIO Software come from United Kingdom, it is also popular in the United States and Ireland.
