I download all my apps from the Google Play Store. Does that mean they’re coming from untrusted sources?

No worries—just because Anti Spy flags some apps as coming from an “untrusted” source doesn’t necessarily mean they’re unsafe. On many Android devices, the Google Play Store merely acts as a middleman. The actual installation is often handled by the System Package Installer, which isn’t marked as trusted by default in Anti Spy.

To check which source actually installed a particular app, simply tap on that app’s entry in Anti Spy. Under “Source,” you’ll see precisely which installer (for example, the System Package Installer) performed the installation.
If you want to classify a specific source as trusted, you can easily do so:

1. Open Anti Spy > Settings > Scan > Trusted Sources
2. Add the “System Package Installer” or any other installer you trust.

This way, you stay in full control and can configure Anti Spy exactly according to your preferences.
