Study Notes

Computer Maintenance Tools

Anti-virus software scans a computer system for viruses, detects, and removes them to prevent damage or data loss.
Data compression reduces the size of a file or set of files to save storage space and facilitate faster file transfer.

Disk Management

Disc defragmentation rearranges fragmented data on a hard drive to improve data access speed and overall system performance.
A backup utility creates a duplicate copy of important data to prevent data loss in case of system failure, hardware malfunction, or data corruption.
Formatting a disc erases all data on a disk, resets the file system, and prepares the disk for new data storage, often used to fix corrupted files or start with a clean slate.
