Just like any customer service center, McAfee has agents to help you with your problems and guide you to a solution. However, to make the most out of McAfee customer service there are a few steps that you’ll need to take in order to speed up the process saving you time and possibly other calls to their support center. This article will look at some of the quick fixes so you may not even need to contact the McAfee technical support. Also, how you can be prepared to answer questions that the service representative will likely ask you. And finally, how can you avoid the need to call back in to customer service in case you’re interrupted for some reason.

Quick Fixes Before you Call McAfee Customer Support

Before you call the McAfee customer service there are a few things that you can do that will sometimes fix problems and the customer service agent will likely suggest these if you do call in. The first thing you’ll need to do is restart your computer. Restarting your computer will sometimes make it correct itself and if so you can avoid calling support.

Another quick fix you can employ is to run a virus scan if you’re able. With McAfee products this may not be an option, but if you can you’ll need to run a full system scan. Keeping the virus scanner up to date is also important, so make sure that you are using the most up to date version before running the scan. Sometimes users don’t update their software and the fix for the problem may be in the update. Running a spyware scan on the system is another must.
