McAfee TechCheck : Runs a quick check of your computer's performance and identifies issues related to the operating system and the connected devices
Various issues can cause your computer to run slowly or your applications to fail to respond. While experienced users usually perform computer maintenance periodically to avoid such unpleasant situations, beginners can call to experts to clean their systems. McAfee TechCheck provides a way to identify problems with your computer and initiate a conversation with a tech support specialist via the paid McAfee TechMaster service.McAfee TechCheck runs a diagnostic scan to determine both hardware and software related problems that might affect the overall computer performance. It is, in fact, a diagnostic tool that should be run if you intend on using McAfee's TechMaster service to get support and assistance from the McAfee team.
Finds issues related to the OS, software, hardware, and the network connection
No installation is required, and McAfee TechCheck starts in an instant, prompting you to tell it whether Bluetooth or printing devices are connected to the PC. Your answer is important because the application could offer you solutions in case any of these devices fail to work properly.There are four different areas that McAfee TechCheck targets. The first is related to the operating system in general, and it refers to issues such as automatic updates, system restore, the size of the recycle bin, and so on. The second is related to installed applications and the security settings of Windows, while the third includes problems with the network and the Internet connections. Last but not least, the hardware and devices area shows you whether connected hardware devices work as they should.
Diagnostics app that promotes McAfee's tech support service
McAfee TechCheck offers to fix some of the found issues at no cost, but most of the problems are still there even after the repair is completed. Occasionally, the application displays the McAfee TechMaster chat support window, which comprises a query window where you can send your question to the tech support team and start a new assistance session. In other words, it is just a diagnostic application that can identify potential issues, without providing the tools to fix them.
