Why not cheetah mobile?

[Rumblee1]

I've read that one should not use apps from cheetah mobile. Was wondering why?

There are a lot of reasons...some of these are what has been found out over the past year or so: Shady permissions, reports of info being sent to China, for a short time they were installing apps in the background. For me, the big one is this: they have an app that kills tasks and clears RAM....a developer for Android doesn't understand the basic memory structure of the OS.
