A few days ago, Google banned over 600 apps off the Play Store that were caught violating the company's disruptive ad policy. A significant amount of them was from a developer called Cheetah Mobile. The developer has been caught engaging in shady behavior several times in the past but was let off with a warning in every instance. Now, it appears that Google has bought down the banhammer on Cheetah Mobile.

A quick search on the Play Store for Cheetah Mobile search yields very few results. The company's most popular offerings, such as Clean Master, Cheetah Keyboard, CM Browser, and Security Master, are no longer on the Play Store. Cheetah Mobile's official site now prompts you to download an APK directly instead of redirecting it to the Play Store. You probably shouldn't do that, as there is no telling what is baked into the seemingly innocuous apps.
