What is CM Security Antivirus AppLock APK

CM Security is a powerful tool for mobile devices that includes both antivirus and applock features.

CM Security for Android helps you keep your smartphone or tablet protected, and it does that both with real-time protection and features available on demand. The app offers a modern, attractive user interface that is simple and intuitive in design. This helps CM Security be simple, and that’s important. Most mobile users aren’t tech wizards, and this app just works for them.

The anti-virus/malware engine used here is well-respected in the industry. It tests well and remains current in order to help it identify and remove the latest threats. The real-time protection, which is active by default, kicks in whenever you install a new app or access a website.

CM Security also offers on-demand threat detection, and it provides two types of analysis. The first scans the system, including installed apps, data files, active memory and so forth. The second type scans SD card content. The second type is slower and can be particularly slow if the card is large and packed with data, but it helps ensure that you don’t accidentally side-load threats to your device.

Another feature of the app is call blocking, and it will automatically suppress calls from any numbers on the blacklist. You can add numbers to the blacklist manually or import them from a phonebook or call log.

One of the pivotal features of CM Security is to block access to apps. This way, someone can’t use your phone and access sensitive data by going through an app. There’s also an option to make locked apps seem like they’ve crashed — we think the hope here is that the interloper abandons the poorly working device rather than suspect an app locker and look for a workaround.

The app also offers you the option to clean away sensitive data automatically and upon request. The only problem here is that it links out to another app — Clean Master — which you have to install. It would have been more convenient if they could’ve just integrated the functionality.

  • Excellent anti-malware engine
