Anti Spyware - Spy Detector

Find hidden spy apps and take control of your phone's privacy. Anti Spy Detector is an anti spyware scanner for Android that helps you detect stalkerware, keyloggers and unwanted monitoring software. Check your installed apps, understand the findings and choose what to remove.

This spy detector from Protectstar is designed for straightforward device checks, with optional real-time protection. No adverts, no advertising IDs and no third-party tracking SDKs.

INDEPENDENT TESTS
AV-TEST (January 2024, Anti Spyware 6.0): 99.8% real-time malware protection and 100% detection of widespread Android malware.
DEKRA MASA L1 (March 2025): app-security assessment of version 6.6.5, distinct from malware detection testing.

FOCUSED SPYWARE DETECTION
• Scan installed apps for known spyware and surveillance tools.
• Check for hidden or disabled spy apps, including those without a visible launcher icon.
• Look for stalkerware used to monitor a person without their consent.
• Identify malicious apps used to monitor SMS or GPS location.
• Run a malware scan for known keyloggers, banking Trojans, backdoors and potentially unwanted apps.

A spyware detector is useful when you want to understand which software on your phone may put messages, location or account details at risk. Anti Spy checks apps on the device, not physical tracking tags or cameras in a room.

CLEAR RESULTS, INFORMED REMOVAL
See which app was detected and the explanation of its risk. Review the finding before uninstalling. Android may require your confirmation or a change to device administrator permissions. Spyware removal remains a decision you control.

SIGNATURES AND AI
In the advanced protection features, Protectstar Dual Engine combines signature matching with AI-supported analysis. Deep Detective™ and Protectstar AI CLOUD help assess suspicious patterns alongside known threats. Keep detection updates current for your next check.

BEYOND THE SCAN YOU START YOURSELF
A manual scan is a check at a point in time. Pro adds real-time protection, AI-supported detection and automatic background scans. It provides extra checks between your manual scans as apps are added or changed.

CHOOSE YOUR PROTECTION
• Free Edition: manual spyware scans using threat signatures, without root access or a Protectstar account.
• Pro: real-time protection, AI-supported detection and automatic background scans.
• Government Edition: Pro features plus Heuristic Deep Scan for additional analysis.

Pro and Government require a paid upgrade. The price, billing period and any trial conditions are shown in Google Play before purchase.

PRIVACY WITHOUT AD TRACKING
Anti Spy does not use advertising IDs or third-party tracking SDKs. The privacy policy and Google Play Data safety section explain security-related data processing. You can check your phone without creating a Protectstar account.

CHECK REGULARLY, ACT CAREFULLY
Scan after installing unfamiliar apps, using sources outside Google Play or letting someone else use your device. Review app permissions, update Android and protect your accounts with strong passwords and two-factor authentication.

A result with no detections is useful, but no scanner can exclude every threat. A warm phone or battery drain alone does not prove spyware. If an abusive person may be monitoring you, seek support from a safer device before removing software or changing settings.

Choose an antispyware app that keeps the task clear: scan, understand and act. Install Anti Spy, review the results and decide whether manual checks or ongoing Pro protection best fit your needs.
