After viewing the videos and reading the chapter, I am clear on the concept of utility programs. They are operating system programs that help manage, maintain and control computer resources. Some are built in and but you can also buy stand-alone utilities which can offer improvements to the ones included in the operating system. Utility programs help to keep your computer running at peak performance.
Some of the different utilities are: Disk storage, disk fragmentors, disk checkers, disk cleaners, disk space analyzers, disk partitions, back-up, disk compression, file managers, archive, system profilers, anti-virus, hex editors, data compression, cryptographic, launcher applications, registry cleaners, network utilities, CLI and GUI.
