Initially available only in the Chinese
Language, this highly capable and
easy-to-use app finally has an English
version. Apart from constant anti-
malware updates, it easily detects
vulnerabilities and prompts users to
resolve them.
Among the features are Privacy
Advisor and System Cleanup. The
Advisor lists down apps that need
complete access to your phone. For
example, why does a free wallpaper
need those permissions? Hint: That app
is fishy.
The Cleanup tool lives up to its
name by purging history records,
cache and such. The app also has
various shortcuts that let you control
connectivity and basic battery-saving
options. But keep in mind, once you’ve
uninstalled the app, you’ll lose all the
security “patches” that you’ve updated
so far. Since it is such a useful app, we
doubt you’ll leave home without it.
