Android App Comparison · Anti Spy & Antivirus AI
Anti Spy – the world’s first anti-spyware app with dual certification

Spyware and malware are
two different threats.
That’s why there are two apps.

Both AI-powered. Both repeatedly certified. Both GDPR-compliant. Together, Anti Spy and Antivirus AI close every security gap on your Android device.

AV Test Certified Testing Ground Labs Big Innovation 2025 AI Excellence Award 2025 MASA L1
The two threat categories

What threatens you — and how?

Not every threat works the same way — and that is exactly why one app alone is not enough.

Spyware & Stalkerware

Secretly monitors your location, camera, microphone, chats, and contacts — often without any visible signs. Used by individuals, criminals, or state actors.

Pegasus FinSpy GPS Trackers Camera Surveillance SMS Interception

Malware, Viruses & Trojans

Infects your device, steals data, demands ransom, or silently displays ads. Gets onto your smartphone through tampered apps, downloads, or links.

Ransomware BankBots Zero-Day Adware Backdoors

Each app, a specialist

Dual-engine technology, updated daily — each one specialized for different threat categories.

The AI technology

How collective protection works

When one device discovers a new threat, all others are protected within seconds — without any personal data leaving your device.

Local AI

Analyzes files & app activities directly on your device in real time

Anonymous fingerprint

Only hash values & metadata — never personal content

Protectstar AI Cloud

A new protection rule is distributed worldwide

Result: Real-time protection without data leaving your device — GDPR-compliant, transparent, and verified by independent tests.

Combined protection

Together, they close every gap

Each app is excellent on its own. Together, they cover every attack vector — without gaps.

Anti Spy + Antivirus AI = Complete protection
