What does McAfee Techmate actually do?

Question

Other than put a little box in the corner of my screen, what does McAfee Techmate actually do that McAfee All Access does not do?

Answer 1

McAfee TechMate is an application that, according to the developer's description, is used to tweak and optimize the functionality of your PC from time to time. It's like a system optimization tool that takes care of various things like: cleaning junk files, optimizes registry, closes apps that are not needed, etc.

Although I am skeptical about McAfee products, sometimes they did the job according to its description.

On the other side, McAfee All Access is a subscription that gives you unlimited access to various services and products from McAfee.

Answer 2

It told about three errors tha t were fixed, including a hard drive error. Report error , yes. Fix error no. I had to replace the HDD with an SSD then spend nearly a week restoring programs. The computer will no long shut off through Windows.

Answer 3

It appears to be an sub. of McAfee which you need a subscription of Tech Master to work properly. Been a loyal subscriber of McAfee for years. TechMate does not recognize my subscription with McAfee. So it was uninstalled before it was tried because it would only allow limited functions.

Answer 4

I am very disappointed with TechMate. It just seems to run scan after dacan, totally ignoring the users schedule. This interferes with internet browsing, so I have to stop it running after it's first completed scan.

Answer 5

I purchased it and I cannot see fit the life of me what it does and I am told all subscriptions have expired. Help pages don’t explain anything clearly.
