Which app is right for me? Anti Spy vs. Antivirus AI

Protectstar™ offers two specialized Android apps: Anti Spy and Antivirus AI. Both are designed to protect you and your data, yet they differ in focus and range of features. In this article, you’ll learn which app makes sense for you—and why Antivirus AI can be the “all-in-one” solution in many cases.
 

Anti Spy – The Privacy Specialist

Ideal if you already have antivirus protection

  • Focus on Spyware Defense: Anti Spy was specifically developed to detect and block hidden spy apps, stalkerware, and surveillance tools.
  • Perfect Add-On: If you’re already using another third-party antivirus and don’t want to switch, Anti Spy is an affordable way to supplement and round out your existing security solution.
  • Easy to Use: Anti Spy is lightweight, intuitive, and focuses on spotting espionage activities—ideal for anyone who wants targeted protection from prying eyes.
     

Antivirus AI – The All-in-One App

If you want everything in one package

  • Comprehensive Malware Protection: Antivirus AI doesn’t just protect against classic viruses, trojans, ransomware, and other malware—it also covers spyware.
  • Includes Anti Spy Features: All major anti-spy functions found in Anti Spy are already built into Antivirus AI. This means you get a complete protection package in a single app.
  • AI-Powered Security: Thanks to cutting-edge artificial intelligence, your app is continuously updated to recognize even novel or previously unknown threats—for maximum security.

Tip: Ready to fully trust Protectstar™ and looking for a single solution that covers everything? Then Antivirus AI is your best choice. You save yourself an extra installation and get the widest range of features.
 

Do I Really Need Both Apps?

Short Answer: No. Because Antivirus AI already contains all the anti-spy features, you don’t need Anti Spy as well if you choose Antivirus AI.

When Is Anti Spy Still Useful?

  • You Already Have Another Antivirus: You’re satisfied with your existing malware protection but want to add targeted spyware detection. In that case, you can use Anti Spy as a specialized solution—without overlapping apps.
  • Budget: Anti Spy is the more budget-friendly option. If you need a simple yet reliable basic layer of spyware protection and already have malware covered elsewhere, go with Anti Spy.


Who Is Antivirus AI Better For?

All-in-One Solution: You want just a single security app that does it all—from virus and malware protection to anti-spyware.

  • Premium Features: Antivirus AI offers extra modules like anti-ransomware, Deep Detective™, or AI live scans. If you frequently use your smartphone for banking, sensitive emails, or work data, you’ll benefit from comprehensive AI-driven security.
  • Maximum Convenience: One tap, one package: Antivirus AI covers all security aspects and continuously updates itself.
     

Conclusion: One App Is Enough—Depending on Your Needs

You already have antivirus protection and want to block spyware specifically?
Anti Spy is your specialist.

You want everything in a single app?
Antivirus AI has you covered in all areas—including anti-spy features.

Both Protectstar™ solutions offer reliable security, but the choice depends on how you use your smartphone and whether you’re already running other antivirus software.
