PC Software is a collection of programs and tools that are designed to make your computer more efficient, productive or enjoyable. Word processors, video games, graphics, design, and multimedia players are all examples. Additionally, online communication tools such as Skype, Google Hangouts or a more robust email program. Other popular software programs are a collection of Microsoft products such as social media and email clients, security applications including editors and readers of PDF, and productivity apps like a to-do list, calculator, or calendar.
The most commonly used type of computer software is the operating system of computers (OS). OS programs generally have an interface that is graphical (GUI) or, in the case of some OS models, a less complicated command-line interface. The average user of computers interacts with the OS through these GUIs.
Unlike application software, system software is typically written using a low-level language which allows it to communicate with hardware systems. It also manages many essential tasks, such as memory management and task scheduling.
A program for cleaning up can be lifesaver when your hard drive is stuffed of old backups or massive installation of a program. SpaceSniffer, for example, from Uderzo Software helps you reclaim wasted space by scanning your hard drives and presenting the results in an easy to read grid. If you’re ready for the old files to be thrown out, a dependable undelete application like Recuva, by Piriform (the creators of CCleaner) can bring them back to life.
