Tools and Techniques used in IT support Tools Helpdesk software is a commonly used tool in IT support as it can speed up problem solving process. It allows for quick assignment of tasks, and easy task logging, the ability for users to raise issues easy, for the helpdesk staff to assign and complete tasks quickly, as well as the ability to see similar previous issues, and apply a known solution to the issue. Antivirus Software is an essential tool, it provides protection against malicious code which

To simplify this, disk defragmentation brings all the changes to the word file saved at multiple locations to a single location in a certain order and arranges the modification in a matrix. This makes it easier for the computer to locate data faster with more efficiency. It reduces the extra energy and time that is being taken to find the scattered pieces of information. Now, the process of disk defragmentation could be connected to an exercise like meditation. Meditation

clearing junk files from the storage device, update device drivers, scan for viruses or spyware, optimise memory, defrag the hard disk, manage the start-up programs and help backing up or recovering files. Common utilities include: Defragmentation tools: Defragmentation tools help to defrag the storage device by rearranging the fragmented data that are spread across

Computer Software Computer software is a program that enables a computer to perform a specific task. Computer is useless without a software. For example without internet browser you cannot search anything on the internet. You need system software such as word processer, which enables a user to perform a task, and system software such as an operating system, which enables software to run properly. Computer software has to be installed within the computer storage (such as hard drive, memory, or RAM)

The use of data in today’s commercials is a vital role that cannot be overlooked. That is there is a need to backup data on physical mediums. The main mediums are hard-drive, flash drive, optical disc, and tape drive. There is multiply different version of each main type of medium. These different physical mediums store data in different ways. Fragmentation can also be an issue for some of these physical mediums. I will cover each medium in a little depth because of the different types available

appear, under the Current Status section. Figure 1.6 – Finished Analysis of C: Drive 7. Click on the Optimise button. The defragmentation process starts. Once the optimisation process is complete, the Current Status of the C: drive shows the percentage of the drive defragmented. Figure 1.7 - Percentage of the Drive Defragmented Good to Know To stop the defragmentation process in the middle of its operation, click on the Stop button. 8. To close the Optimise drives dialog box, click on the

to lose the selected files from Mac Volume. • Empty Trash: If you empty the Trash folder in order to reduce the memory space of the Mac hard disk, without cross checking for contents then data present on that Trash gets deleted permanently. • Defragmentation: If the Volume data is fragmented due to any reason then that Volume might becomes inaccessible and you can end up with loss of such Volumes on Mac hard disk. • Interrupt Transfer Process: While moving files from Mac system to external device
