Anti Spy Detector - Spyware

Anti spyware & anti malware scanner. Detect hidden spy apps and stalkerware.

Find hidden spy apps and take control of your phone's privacy. Anti Spy Detector is an anti spyware app for Android that helps you detect stalkerware, keyloggers and other unwanted monitoring software. Run a scan, understand the findings and decide which apps to remove.

Built by Protectstar, this antispyware scanner focuses on software that can put your messages, location or account details at risk. No ads, no advertising IDs and no third-party tracking SDKs.

SPYWARE DETECTION YOU CAN ACT ON
• Scan installed apps for known spyware, stalkerware and surveillance tools.
• Check for hidden or disabled spy apps, including software without a visible launcher icon.
• Look for malicious apps used to monitor SMS or GPS location.
• Detect known keyloggers, banking Trojans, backdoors and potentially unwanted apps.
• Review a detected app and its risk before deciding whether to uninstall it.

Malware removal starts with understanding the result. Anti Spy helps you identify the affected app and take action; Android may require your confirmation or a change to administrator settings before an app can be uninstalled.

FREE SCANS. OPTIONAL ONGOING PROTECTION.
Free Edition provides manual, signature-based spyware scans. No root access or Protectstar account is required for a device check.

Pro adds real-time protection, AI-supported detection and automatic background scans. It is designed for people who want checks beyond the scans they start themselves.

Government Edition includes Pro features and Heuristic Deep Scan for additional analysis. It is an optional advanced edition, not a requirement for a basic spyware scan.

Pro and Government features require a paid upgrade. Review the price, billing period and any trial conditions shown in Google Play before purchasing.

SIGNATURES AND AI
Protectstar's Dual Engine combines signature matching with AI-based analysis through Deep Detective™ and Protectstar AI CLOUD in the advanced protection features. Signatures help identify known threats; AI analysis helps assess suspicious patterns. Keep detection updates current to support your next malware scan.

INDEPENDENT TESTING
AV-TEST's January 2024 test of Anti Spyware 6.0 recorded 99.8% protection against current Android malware attacks and 100% detection of widespread malware. These are historical test results, not a guarantee for every threat.

DEKRA's March 2025 MASA L1 assessment covered app security for version 6.6.5. App-security assessment and malware detection testing evaluate different things.

PRIVACY WITHOUT AD TRACKING
Anti Spy does not use advertising IDs or third-party tracking SDKs. Security-related data processing is explained in the privacy policy and Google Play Data safety section. No Protectstar account is needed to scan.

MAKE PROTECTION PART OF YOUR ROUTINE
Check after installing unfamiliar apps or letting someone else use your phone. Review permissions and keep Android updated. A scan with no detections is useful information, not proof that every possible threat is absent. Real-time protection adds checks between manual scans; it does not replace good account security.

SAFE NEXT STEPS
A hot phone or fast battery drain alone does not prove spyware. Review findings rather than guessing. If an abusive person may be monitoring you, seek help from a safer device before taking action; changes to your phone can alert them.

Anti Spy is a spyware detector, not a tool for spying on others. It does not identify who is behind an attack or guarantee protection against every form of hacking.

Start a scan, review the results and choose the protection level that suits you. Find spyware without turning your security app into an advertising tracker.
