    Worksheet 4 Utility software

    Unit 4 Network security and systems software

    Name:...................................................................................................... Class: ......................

    Task 1
    Fill in the name of the utility program being described in each row below:

    Prevents malware being installed and important files


    Anti-virus software
    being changed or deleted.

    Helps to find temporary files that are no longer


    Disk Clean Up tools
    needed and can be deleted to free up space

    Data compressors Packages a file so that it has a reduced file size.

    Optimises the use of the hard disk space by


    Defragmentation software collecting together the separate parts of each file in
    one location on the disk.

    Takes a file and encodes it in such a way that it


    Encryption software
    cannot be decoded without a key or password

    Task 2
    The grid below represents locations (sectors) on a hard disk where files can be stored. Each
    one is 512 bytes, so a file will occupy several sectors.
    The task:
    Follow these steps to simulate the storage of some files on a disk. Do this by labelling the
    sectors below (the squares) with the file ID number. There are already some files on the disk
    (grey squares).
    1. File 6 needs 8 sectors of disk space, write it to the disk
    2. File 7 needs 11 sectors of disk space, write it to the disk

    4. Why does this make it slower to read this file?


    Because the hard disk is a mechanical drive so the drive head will need to move a lot to be
    able to read the file.

    5. What does the disk defragmenter do?


    It moves data so that each file is with similar files (of the same program etc.) and groups all the
    free memory together.

    6. Show what the disk will look like after the disk defragmenter has run.

    Task 3
    You can find out how much space there is on a disk drive in Windows Explorer.

    Right-click on the drive name and select Properties.


    If you use macOS then open a Finder window and select the storage device on the left. Click
    the File menu and select Get Info.

    1. How much space is there on the hard drive on your computer?

    2. Will defragmenting the disk give you more space? Explain your answer.
    No because it does not create space but moves data
