    hard drive, and protects from unauthorized use.

     Application Software: programs that allow a user to


    perform specific tasks on a computer.
     Word processing, playing games, browsing the Web,
    listening to music, etc.

     Examples
     Operating systems
     Language translators
     Convert program code from higher level language (i.e. Basic, C, Python, java
    …) to machine-readable language
     Ex: Compilers or Interpreters
     Utility programs
     Perform specific tasks usually related to managing or maintaining the
    computer system, either built into operating systems or stand-alone
    products.
     Ex: File Manager (Windows Explorer), File Compression (WinRAR), Disk
    defragmenter, viewing images, Backup and Recovery Utilities, Uninstall and
