IDEAL Administration
from Pointdev
Overview
IDEAL Administration is a software program developed by Pointdev. The most common release is 15.21, 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 setup package generally installs about 61 files and is usually about 75.97 MB (79,655,283 bytes). Relative to the overall usage of users who have this installed on their PCs, most are running Windows 7 (SP1) and Windows 10. While about 33% of users of IDEAL Administration come from the United States, it is also popular in France and DZ.
