FAQ & SupportBlog

Can Anti Spy also detect the FinSpy trojan that is often used as government spyware? How dangerous is FinSpy?

Yes. We trained our artificial intelligence from the very beginning to detect FinSpy. Special LifeRules in Anti Spy PRO (and especially in Antivirus AI) reliably identify all currently known patterns.

What is FinSpy, and how dangerous is it to you?
FinSpy is developed by the British-German company FinFisher GmbH (Gamma Group), which is based in Munich. The software is officially distributed spyware for Android, iOS, Windows, macOS, and Linux and gives attackers almost unrestricted access to your infected device.

FinSpy can be tailored to each individual victim and provides attackers with detailed information about you, such as your contacts, call history, location data, text messages, or calendar entries. In addition, this spyware can intercept voice calls, various communication services, and text messages—including through apps such as WhatsApp, WeChat, Viber, Skype, Line, Telegram, Signal, and Threema.

Because of its extensive access capabilities, FinSpy is considered especially dangerous. Thanks to our Anti Spy PRO and Antivirus AI solutions, however, we make sure that you are protected against this trojan as effectively as possible.
