It would be VERY dependant on what malware you actually had. But typically malware doesn't steal your info, it simply produces ads, or sends out emails etc.
And to put your mind at ease you probably didn't even HAVE malware, spyware or a virus. CM Security in my opinion, is useless, a resource hog, and as long as you are careful in what you are doing on your device, no protection is necessary.
