Three more take care of the rest.
Independently certified. Ad-free. For Android, iOS, Mac, and Windows.

iShredder™

iShredder™ — Flagship Product
Deleted doesn’t
mean gone.

But it’s still there — recoverable with free software in under ten minutes. iShredder overwrites it according to international standards (NIST 800-88, DoD 5220.22-M) and provides a certified erasure report — GDPR-compliant.
- GDPR-compliant erasure report — verifiable proof for audits and regulators
- 23 erasure algorithms — from NIST SP 800-88 to DoD 5220.22-M ECE
- DEKRA MASA L1 validated — the only app of its kind
From 1.9¢ a day · Free version available
Anti Spy — Top Choice
Who’s really
watching?
Stalkerware from an ex-partner. Tracking apps your boss installed without your knowledge. Spy tools no one is supposed to see. They run quietly in the background — and Anti Spy exposes them in seconds.
- The world’s first & only certified anti-spyware app
- 99.87% detection rate — AV-TEST, January 2024
- Dark Web Check: See whether your data has been compromised
- Monitor camera access and prevent screen recordings
What users say
Antivirus AI — Android & Mac
Two engines.
Zero gaps.
Traditional scanners know yesterday’s malware. Deep Detective™ recognizes the behavior of tomorrow’s threats. Both engines run in parallel — what one misses, the other catches. In real time. Without your data ever leaving the device.
- Your Mac scans iPhone & iPad too — via USB, no cloud required
- Native for Apple Silicon — M1 through M4, without draining your battery
- Apple-notarized — verified by Apple’s Notary Service for known malware

What We Stand For
What you do is
nobody else’s business.
Every Protectstar app scans locally on your device. No telemetry. No tracking. No data brokering.

We mean privacy the way the word was intended.
