Maintenance
— by Lisa Richards, Educational
Outreach Writer
System maintenance is an umbrella
term that encompasses various forms
of computer maintenance needed to
keep a system running. The two main
components of system maintenance
are preventive and corrective
Preventive Maintenance
Preventive maintenance is defined as
the proactive maintenance of
equipment before a fault or failure
occurs. Preventive maintenance
involves routine tasks to ensure that
your system is running optimally and to
avoid problems before they arise.
There are several preventative
measures you can take:

Maintenance. Preventive maintenance 1. Installing Windows updates,

involves taking measures to help keep
the system functioning, whereas
corrective maintenance involves the
replacement or repair of a system or its
components after they have already
failed.
2. scanning for viruses and
malware,
3. Anti-virus and anti-malware
scans should be run at least
once a week.

released, as new viruses and
malware spring up constantly.
Power surges and overheating
can destroy electronic equipment,
so protect your hardware by
investing in a surge protector and
cleaning your equipment
periodically to remove dust. Should
any preventative measures fail, it is
always a good idea to have a
backup for important files: Invest in
an external hard drive to save any
important files should your
computer need replacing.
Corrective Maintenance
Corrective maintenance, commonly
referred to as "repair," is the correction
of a problem after the computer has
already broken down. The goal of this
form of maintenance is to restore
operability to the system by either
correcting the problem or replacing the
damaged components. Common
corrective measures involve
 Removing viruses and
malware,
 uninstalling harmful programs,
reformatting,
 running a system restore,
among others. To perform
corrective maintenance, it is
important to first:
 diagnose the problem and
figure out the root cause.
Answer the following Questions
1- What are the two components of
computer maintenance?
The two components of the system's
maintenance are preventive
maintenance and corrective
maintenance is intended for the
conservation of equipment through the
performance of inspection and repair,
while corrective maintenance is that
which is performed with the aim of
repairing faults or defects in
equipment.
2. What steps can be followed in order
to protect a computer?
There is a routine process to ensure
that your system works optimally and
to avoid problems before they arise.
There are several preventive
measures that can be taken:
 Installing Windows updates,
 looking for viruses and malware,
 Antivirus and antimalware tests
must run at least once a week.
 Make sure you have updates for
these programs every time they
are published, as new viruses and
malware constantly emerge.
 Voltage and overheating spikes
can destroy electronic equipment,
therefore, protect your hardware
and protect against surges and
cleaning your equipment to
remove dust.
