CM Security is one of the best antivirus for Android smartphones and tablets that protects the system, even in real time, from dangerous apps. The Google Play store is controlled enough by Google, but not so much as to keep us safe from 100% malicious applications.
As written in the article on antivirus for Android, however, those who use the store with common sense, if not really unfortunate, should not take too many risks and can also do without an antivirus.
What makes this CM Security an important and useful app is not so much its main antivirus function but the fact of being a multi-use tool to face all the security risks of a smartphone phone.
I refer, in particular, to the problems of theft and loss and the protection of private and sensitive data stored in applications such as Facebook and Whatsapp.
CM Security (installed by millions of users) is a unique application that addresses these problems effectively, which works very well and is worth installing on any Android smartphone, be it a Samsung Galaxy, an HTC, an LG, a Nexus or other.
Then go to the Play Store and download CM Security .
Once the application is downloaded, open it and immediately tap the scan button in the center of the screen.
This way you can check all installed apps for viruses, trojans, vulnerabilities, adware and spyware.
After the scan and after correcting any detected problems, you can scan the SD card .
The function is found by tapping on the dot button at the top right to be sure that there are no malware or viruses in memory.
Note that antivirus protection remains active in real time.
If you feel comfortable enough not to take this type of risk, you can turn off real-time protection in the settings.
The second interesting feature of CM Security is cleaning up unnecessary files .
In reality this task is carried out by the sister app to this, by the same authors, Clean Master of which I have already spoken.
Finally we come to the most useful functions: the phone finder, the applock and the phone block .
These are all things you can do with specific apps, collected in CM Security in one easy-to-use tool.
Find your mobile phone allows you to locate our Android smartphone.
The functionality is used by pressing the ellipsis in the upper right corner and requires registration with the Google account.
Once activated, you will need to set a password to use location.
on the web page //findphone.cmcm.com, you can see on the map where the mobile phone is located, you can make it ring (even if it is silent) and you can also block it remotely.
This function is useful to find the lost or stolen mobile phone or, at least, to prevent those who find it or who stole it from spying on our data.
If someone tries to enter the phone by mistaking the password 3 or more times, the application will take a picture so that we know who this person is.
This functionality is similar, a little more advanced, to that already included in every Android smartphone in the Android Device Manager.
Blocking unwanted calls is useful for not receiving calls from certain chosen numbers.
To add blocked numbers just go to the Blocked list and touch the +.
CM Security will keep in memory the calls received from these numbers.
The applock finally serves to block access to more private applications such as Whatsapp, Photos, Facebook or others of your choice.
These apps are then protected by a sequence to be drawn with the finger.
In another article we have listed some apps to block the opening of applications on Android and CM Security is among them.
In the application settings there are other useful tools.
You can set up a scheduled scan, for example once a month, to check the installed apps, you can activate safe browsing to protect your browser from malicious sites and activate the cleaning of private content.
In the end, with CM Security, you will feel more confident in using your smartphone on the go, better preventing data security risks.
Not surprisingly, CM Security is also one of the top 10 free apps for Android .
