A computer program that performs a useful function.
A standard program, usually furnished at no charge with the purchase of a computer, that performs housekeeping functions.
A small computer program that performs some very useful function. For example, utilities exist to convert files from one format to another, to compress files, to detect and eliminate viruses, and to defragment hard drives. Utilities fill the gaps in an operating system, providing useful features that were left out. As an operating system grows, it often incorporates the features that were previously delivered only by utilities.

A program or routine designed to perform or facilitate routine accessory operations (such as copying files or editing text) on a computer.

Utility programs, commonly referred to as just “utilities,” are software programs that add functionality to your computer or help your computer perform better. These include antivirus, backup, disk repair, file management, security, and networking programs. Utilities can also be applications such as screensavers, font and icon tools, and desktop enhancements. Some utility programs help keep your computer free from unwanted software such as viruses or Spyware, while others add functionality that allows you to customize your desktop and user interface. In general, programs that help make your computer better are considered utilities.
