Yup the app from the link in my last post doesn't offer a root mode, the only thing it does different is installing under different name (File Explorer I think).
I flashed a new ROM, tried restoring with Titanium Backup, root mode didn't work, tried installing the app by itself - root mode didn't work.
Canceled my subscription, screw dat! Nothing left worth paying for.
Also uninstalled the Mobile Security, with each new update it was getting more and more intrusive with their other apps offerings and other things.
Bye Bye.
