On its first run, the system identified that my CPU was overheating-possibly due to the 24 apps that were running in the background! Clicking the “optimize” button resulted in a three centigrade drop, although I would like to have been given more information, such as which programs had been closed and the temperature immediately after the adjustment. The app contains three of the usual optimization tools: a CPU cooler, junk cleaner, and memory booster. CPU Cooler, Junk Cleaner, and Memory Booster GO Security comes with a wealth of additional features that are intended to make handsets function as fast and efficiently as possible and to provide security in the event of loss or theft. Although I was able to toggle on and off the real-time protection and deactivate database update alerts, both of these are important features that should have been included with the product. What I found lacking was the ability to tweak the default scheduled scan interval (which is set to 18:00 daily) and any reporting function to show me what previous scans had found on the device. Real-time protection is enabled by default, so the system will flag potentially risky apps before they’re installed. In addition to a quick scan, the GO contains a deep scan tool which probes through files and folders and the app list. However, I tested it with a couple of malware samples and found its detection ability to be excellent. Users should make sure that the app isn’t installing extra components without their permission. I couldn’t find any independent benchmark data. No Benchmark Data, but Effective Detection The tool also flagged some information on my clipboard and gave me an option to remove it directly within the application. Although this looked promising, the scanner incorrectly labeled an app that I had installed from APK as pirated, so be careful if you use a third-party app store. My first scan generated an entire screen full of information. The scan also checks for privacy threats and finally, it eliminates junk. Second, the system scans for pirated copies of applications which commonly carry ransomware and other threats. First, known viruses, trojans, and malware apps are searched for using a definition-based method. GO Security is both an app and system scanning tool, which works on four levels. I signed up for a premium account to take full advantage of its malware-detection, safe-browsing, and intruder-detection features. GO Security is a freemium antivirus, battery-saver, and cleanup app for Android.
