Anti Spy by Protectstar™: The World’s First Antispyware App with Dual Certification (AV-TEST & DEKRA)

Anti Spy by Protectstar™: The World’s First Antispyware App with Dual Certification (AV-TEST & DEKRA)
March 11, 2025

Every day, new forms of malware, spyware, and hacking attempts emerge, specifically targeting smartphones. That’s why it’s more important than ever for you to rely on tested and certified security solutions. With Anti Spy for Android, Protectstar™ has developed an app that sets new standards in this field. Anti Spy is now the only antispyware app in the world to be certified by both AV-TEST and DEKRA. This achievement represents a major milestone in mobile cybersecurity and shows that modern data protection is accessible to everyone—including you.

1. Why Are Certifications So Important for You?

If you browse the Play Store, you’ll quickly see countless apps that claim to be “security solutions.” But how do you know which ones truly deliver?

  • AV-TEST is one of the most renowned testing and research institutes in the IT security sector. It evaluates apps based on criteria such as malware detection, user-friendliness, and performance.
  • DEKRA, through its MASA (Mobile Application Security Assessment), checks whether apps meet critical security requirements and adhere to OWASP standards.

When an app passes both tests, it can only mean one thing: it’s top-notch in terms of threat detection and technical security requirements. That’s exactly what Anti Spy Android offers you.
 

2. Anti Spy at a Glance: Protection Against Hidden Spying

The antispyware app Anti Spy for Android devices is no ordinary security app. It was specifically developed to detect spyware, stalkerware, and hidden surveillance apps—in other words, all those threats that often run unnoticed in the background on your smartphone. Anti Spy zeroes in on spyware and also malware, then removes them swiftly.

  • Dual Engine for Double Protection: A combination of a signature engine and AI-based detection (Deep Detective™ + Protectstar™ AI CLOUD) identifies both known and emerging spyware tools.
  • Minimal Permission Scope: Anti Spy only requests the permissions truly necessary to detect and remove harmful processes.
  • User-Friendliness: One tap on “SCAN” is all it takes to check your smartphone. You don’t need any IT expertise to stay in control.
  • Respect for Your Privacy: No data collection, no trackers—Anti Spy focuses on what matters most: protecting you from espionage.


3. Dual Certification: AV-TEST & DEKRA MASA L1

As early as 2024, Anti Spy proved its worth with a 99.87% malware and spyware detection rate, outperforming even some well-known antivirus solutions according to AV-TEST. This seal of approval is one of the most important in the industry and demonstrates that, in terms of spyware detection, Anti Spy often surpasses traditional security apps.

Now, with the DEKRA MASA L1 certificate, Anti Spy has shown that it also excels in terms of app security and OWASP requirements. Specifically, that means for you:

  • No Unencrypted Data Storage: Your sensitive information remains private and is never stored in plain text.
  • Encrypted Network Communication: All data transfers take place via secure connections (e.g., HTTPS/TLS).
  • Ensured App Integrity: No open debugging interfaces or critical vulnerabilities that hackers could exploit.
  • Verified External Libraries: There are no “secret backdoors” or insecure components that could jeopardize your security.

With this dual certification, you can trust that Anti Spy not only provides outstanding spyware detection but also meets the stringent OWASP security standards.
 

4. Anti Spy vs. Antivirus—Which Do You Choose?

You might be thinking, “I already have an antivirus app; do I really need antispyware?” In truth, Anti Spy and a traditional antivirus app can complement each other perfectly. While antivirus solutions typically combat viruses, Trojans, and ransomware, Anti Spy focuses specifically on spyware and stalkerware.

In the Protectstar blog post, you’ll learn how Antivirus AI and Anti Spy together can create a multi-layered security strategy on your device. If you store valuable or sensitive data on your smartphone—such as work emails, personal photos, or login credentials—then combining both solutions can be a smart move.
 

5. Who Is Anti Spy Particularly Suited For?

  • Private Users: If you want to protect yourself from prying eyes—whether from potential stalkers or dubious spyware apps.
  • Companies: If you want to secure company smartphones to prevent industrial espionage.
  • Influencers, Journalists, Activists: Anyone who is in the public eye or works in a sensitive field is often a prime target for surveillance. Anti Spy shields you from unwanted eavesdropping.
  • Families: If you want to prevent covert spy apps from accessing your children’s smartphones. One “SCAN” tap can put your mind at ease.
