ITPEC FE Morning October 2020 — Question 12 of 80
Device Driver — software that controls peripheral devices connected to a PC.
A device driver acts as a translator between the OS and hardware, enabling communication with peripherals (printers, GPUs, keyboards, etc.).
Why not others:
- (b) Installer — software to install applications
- (c) Malware — software to invade and damage other PCs
- (d) Macro software — software to record and automate keyboard/device operations
Key rule: A device driver is always about controlling hardware peripherals, not installing, attacking, or automating user actions.
