Anti Spy App: Spyware Detector

Check your phone for hidden spy apps and protect your privacy. Anti Spy Detector is an anti spyware app for Android that helps you find stalkerware, keyloggers and unwanted monitoring software. Run a scan, see the detected app and understand what to do next.

Protectstar brings signature-based scanning and optional AI-powered protection into one antispyware app. No ads, no advertising IDs and no third-party tracking SDKs.

KNOW WHAT IS ON YOUR PHONE
• Spyware detection: check installed apps for known spyware and surveillance tools.
• Hidden app checks: look for hidden or disabled spy apps, including those without a visible launcher icon.
• Stalkerware detection: find software used to monitor a person without their consent.
• SMS and GPS monitoring apps: identify malicious software used to track messages or location.
• Malware scan: check for keyloggers, banking Trojans, backdoors and potentially unwanted apps.

Keyloggers and banking malware can target passwords, one-time passwords and payment details. These checks focus on malicious software, not every payment scam, phishing message or account takeover.

INDEPENDENT TESTING
AV-TEST (January 2024, Anti Spyware 6.0): 99.8% real-time malware protection and 100% detection of widespread Android malware.

CLEAR FINDINGS AND REMOVAL
Use Anti Spy as a spyware detector to identify the app behind a warning. Review the result before deciding to uninstall. Malware removal may require Android confirmation or disabling device administrator access. You stay in control of the action.

SIGNATURE SCANNING WITH AI
Protectstar Dual Engine combines known threat signatures with AI-supported analysis in the advanced protection features. Deep Detective™ and Protectstar AI CLOUD help assess suspicious patterns. Keep detection data updated to support checks for new threats.

PRO: CHECKS BETWEEN YOUR MANUAL SCANS
New apps and permissions can change what has access to your phone. Pro adds real-time protection, AI-supported detection and automatic background scans, so your checks do not rely only on remembering to open the scanner.

CHOOSE THE LEVEL THAT SUITS YOU
• Free Edition: manual, signature-based spyware scans without root access or a Protectstar account.
• Pro: real-time protection, AI-supported detection and automatic background scanning.
• Government Edition: all Pro features and Heuristic Deep Scan for further analysis.

Pro and Government features require a paid upgrade. Check the price, billing period and any trial conditions displayed in Google Play before confirming a purchase.

PRIVACY WITHOUT ADVERTISING TRACKERS
Anti Spy has no advertising IDs or third-party tracking SDKs. The privacy policy and Google Play Data safety section explain data processing associated with the service. There is no Protectstar registration step before your scan.

WHEN TO CHECK
Run a scan after installing unfamiliar apps or apps from outside Google Play, or after another person has used your phone. Review sensitive permissions and update Android. A result with no detections does not rule out every threat; battery or performance problems alone are not proof of spying.

If an abusive person may have installed monitoring software, seek help from a safer device before changing settings or removing apps. Those actions can alert the person monitoring you.

Start your spyware scan, review the findings and take the next step. Use manual checks when you need them, or add Pro for ongoing protection of your Android phone.
