I have seen advertisements for "solutions", but they never tell you
what problem they are claiming to be able to solve.

Yes, they're all programs, but some are applications, like word
processors, spreadsheets, databases etc.

But I have a program called "Glary Utilities", which is not an
application. It just helps the computer to run better. Likewise, the
operating system is a program, but not an application.
