Software and Hardware/Peripheral Devices

A file is a collection of related records that gives a complete set of

information about a certain item or entity. Once a file will be saved in the machine,
it has a file extension. A file extension refers to the format of the file such as
txt, .xlm, and .xlms.

Operating System is a platform that enables other programs to run on the

computer. Compatibility is the capacity for two systems to work together without
having to be altered to do so.

Note: It is a must for you to know the type of operating system and
application software you are using because of the compatibility issues of
hardware and software.

Transferring files from one hard drive to another can be possible now.

Procedures for Ensuring Security of Data, Including Regular Backups and

Virus Checks in Accordance with Standard Operating Procedures

Computer maintenance involves keeping a computer in a good state of repair

and physical health. Meaning, it is a set of maintenance tasks and procedures that

help to keep the computer software and hardware updated and operational.

Types of Computer Maintenance

1. Predictive Maintenance This refers to using a diagnostic tool to
anticipate possible failures and avoid some
possible issues.
2. Preventive Maintenance It prevents possible failures, improve the
function of a system and prolong the life of
various computer components.
Disk cleanup is a maintenance utility that scans
your computer’s hard drive for files that you no
longer needed.
Defragmentation is the process of consolidating
fragmented files on the user's hard drive.
3. Corrective Maintenance It refers to the set of tasks destined to correct
the defects to be found in the different
equipment.
For example: If the operating system failed and
we want it to work again in the same condition,
we apply the necessary measures such as
computer reformat.
Computer Reformat is the process of erasing all
information on the drive by formatting the drive
to prepare that disk to be used for other
data. Reformat is commonly performed to
correct a major data corruption, check to see if
the disk is bad, or clean the disk drive.
4. Evolutionary Maintenance This type concerns both hardware and software,
so you can update Windows and change various
parts of the PC for better performance.

CO_Q0_ICT8_Module3
Data Security
16
A data security is about keeping your data safe from accidental or malicious
damage. Security is a consideration at all stages of your research, particularly if
working with disclosure or licensed data.

Procedures in Ensuring Data Security

1. Creating Passwords are the foundation of security. Getting a good one is a

great basis for keeping your data safe, but a weak password is like an
unlocked door.
2. Data Encryption maintains the security of data and documentation through
an algorithm to transforming information into something unreadable
requiring a “key” to decrypt and return to comprehension.
3. Data Backup is a process of duplicating data to allow retrieval of the
duplicate set after a data loss event.

A data is the most important aspect of your computer. An attacker could crash
a computer’s operating system or data may be corrupted or wiped out by a
hardware problem. Data loss can be caused by many things, ranging from
computer viruses to hardware failures, file corruption to fire, flood, or theft.

Data Backup

A data backup is the action of copying files and folders for the purpose of
being able to restore them in case of data loss. Data loss can be a huge setback and
in some cases can even lead to a business failure or transaction catastrophe.

The Most Common Types of Data Backup

1. Full backup - It is when every single file

and folder in the system is backed up.

CO_Q0_ICT8_Module3

17
2. Incremental backup - The process of
restoring lost data from backup is longer
but the process is much quicker.

3. Differential backup - This type of backup

requires more storage space than
incremental backup does, however, but it
also allows for a faster restore time.

4. Mirror backup - A mirror backup, as the

name implies, is when an exact copy is
made of the source data.

Data Back-up Options

To increase the chances of recovering lost or corrupted data. Below are some
of the backup options to mitigate data loss.

1. External hard drive - A portable, easy to use, and capable of storing

large files. It can be moved from computer to
computer, making it convenient to transport
data.
2. Cloud backup - It allows users to back up their data to hardware
that’s in a remote location. Most cloud storage
services provide a large amount of storage space
and encrypt the content for data security.
3. Flash drive - A small portable storage device mostly used to
transfer files from device to another device.
Scanning of a Virus

Computer Virus is a type of malicious code or program written to alter the

way a computer operates and is designed to spread from one computer to
another. A virus scan is the process of using anti-virus software to scan and

CO_Q0_ICT8_Module3

18
identify viruses in a computing device. It is an information security process that
aims to review and identify threatening viruses and programs. It is the core
feature of anti-virus software.
Virus scanning relies entirely on the strength of an anti-virus engine that
uses a repository of descriptions of known viruses, malware and other malicious
content.

Antivirus software is a program or set of programs that are designed to

prevent, search for, detect, and remove software viruses, and other malicious
software like worms, Trojans, adware, and more.

Three Different Types of Virus Scanning

1. Full Scan will take a few hours to complete if you happen to have a lot of
data stored on your system.
2. Custom Scan is a great way to check quickly the pen drives or hard
drives.
3. Quick Scan targets the entire system but it does not take as much time
as a full scan.

Ways to Prevent Virus Infections

1. Keeping antivirus up to date and running scans on a regular basis.

2. Strict policies should be put in place to prevent virus infection e.g.
prohibiting the use of flash drives, or require flash disk to be scanned before
use.
3. Other policy to consider is the prohibiting of downloading since
unsuspecting users can accidentally download malware.
4. A firewall may also be used to block dangerous downloads.

Basic File Maintenance Procedures in Line with the Standards Operating

Procedures

File Maintenance is the software processes concerned with maintaining file

integrity and file efficiency, usually of data files. It is concerned with the internal
organization of files.

There are Two Types of File Maintenance

1. Partition Maintenance includes periodic checking of the file system's

underlying structure and metadata, modifying the partition layout, and
low-level backups.
2. Content Maintenance involves monitoring and controlling the space used
by files as well as file backup and recovery.

Basic Procedures in File Maintenance

CO_Q0_ICT8_Module3
 1. Update your antivirus and run a scan - The anti-virus updates contain the
latest files needed to combat new viruses and protect your computer.

2. Run spyware removal software - Protect your files from unwanted copy.
3. Empty your Recycle Bin - This will delete all unnecessary files from your
19
computer.
4. Conduct Disk cleanup - It finds files that are no longer needed.
5. Run Disk Defragmentation - It picks up all of the pieces of data that are
spread across your hard drive and puts them back together again.
