Understanding Utility System Software

What is the primary purpose of utility system software?

• To maintain computer efficiency and safety

• To expand the storage capacity of the hard drive

• To enhance the graphical interface of the operating system

• To increase the processing speed of the CPU

What is the role of device drivers highlighted in the video?

• To facilitate communication between the operating system and hardware devices

• To compress and decompress files

• To repair corrupted files

• To back up data to cloud storage

What does file repair utility software aim to do?

• Increase file transfer speeds

• Restore corrupted or damaged files to their original state

• Encrypt files for secure transmission

• Compress files to reduce their size

What is an incremental backup?

• A backup that compresses all files into a single archive

• A backup that only copies files that have changed since the last backup

• A backup that only copies files that have been accessed recently

• A backup that copies all data regardless of changes

What is the main advantage of using backup software?

• To remove viruses and malware from files

• To ensure important data is not lost

• To repair damaged system files automatically

• To speed up the computer's startup time

How do compression utilities benefit file storage and transmission?

• They encrypt files for security

• They reduce file size for efficient storage and faster downloads

• They protect files from viruses

• They enhance the quality of files

What is the primary benefit of file compression?

• To make files unreadable without a password

• To reduce the size of files for more efficient storage and transfer

• To repair any errors within the files

• To categorize and organize files more effectively

Why should solid-state drives (SSDs) not be defragmented?

• Defragmentation can damage the SSD's components

• SSDs have unlimited storage capacity

• SSDs do not benefit from defragmentation due to lack of moving parts

• Defragmentation will slow down the SSD's performance

How does defragmentation improve hard disk performance?

• By organizing fragmented files and free space for quicker access

• By reducing the disk's temperature during operation

• By encrypting the data on the disk

• By increasing the disk's storage capacity

What types of threats does anti-malware software protect against?

• Unauthorized access to the computer

• Viruses, trojans, worms, spyware, and more

• Physical damage to the computer

• Data breaches and hacking attempts
