Help Avast vs CM Security AntiVirus

[FuzMic]

Hi gurus

I have been using Avast AV but after more tinkering with Clean Master, i am tempted to use CM Security AntiVirus. So which in your opinion should i go for and are they any different? Hope to be taught.

Steer clear of absolutely anything by Cheetah Mobile. It's funny they have an AV/Security app when they themselves are guilty of adware/spam ware and they'll resort to fake virus alerts to make you install their software on your device.

Whilst not about their AV, it gives you an idea of what they're all about.

I'll be honest and say I've never used AV in 5-6 years of owning an Android device. Just be careful with what you install, check permissions, use legit app stores and you should be fine.

If I were to choose, out of those 2, I'd go with Avast.
