Let Us Discover

Utility software, often referred to as utility, is a system software designed to help analyze,
configure, optimize, or maintain a computer and enhance its performance. It is a
program that performs a specific task, which is usually related to managing the
system resources. Utilities are sometimes also installed as memory-resident
programs.

4 types of utility software:

 System Utilities: it is a software application that helps optimized and maintain a
computer just like an anti-virus, memory testers, package managers, network
utilities, and registry cleaner.
 File Management Utilities: utilities are used in managing and securing back up
files. The examples are Archivers, backup software, data compression utilities,
and file managers.
 Storage Device Management Utilities: All the disk related software utilities fall
into this type of utility. They can be disk checkers, disk partition editors, disk
formatters, disk space analyzers and so on.
 Miscellaneous Utilities: All the remaining utility software can be included in this
type, for example, data generators, hex editors, HTML checkers, and merge
programs.
Device Driver - a computer program that operates or controls a particular type of device
attached to a computer. Typical devices are keyboards, printers, scanners, digital cameras,
and external storage devices; each of these needs a driver to work correctly.
