How is it possible that Antivirus AI can even detect state-sponsored trojans?

Antivirus AI uses state-of-the-art AI technology that continuously learns and dynamically adapts to new threats. If suspicious spyware is identified, for example, on a user’s smartphone in Paris, our AI system reacts in real time and automatically protects all other users worldwide. This effect grows stronger with every scan and every analysis—the more often you use the app, the more efficient the detection system becomes, and the better the global protection for all users.

Focus on state-sponsored trojans such as Pegasus and FinSpy

Pegasus, FinSpy, and similar types of malware are considered especially sophisticated surveillance tools, usually developed by government organizations. Their purpose is to spy on people, agencies, or companies without being noticed. Thanks to Antivirus AI’s learning AI algorithms, we had already recorded 52,424 detections of these specific threats among more than 5 million Android users by January 2025.

With a steadily growing community and globally networked analysis mechanisms, even the most sophisticated spyware is detected and blocked within a very short time.

Deep Detective technology: your proactive guardian

In addition to AI-based detection, Antivirus AI includes Deep Detective technology, which continuously monitors background processes—with more than 128 million detection signatures. This proactive monitoring closely examines unusual behavior patterns and reacts immediately to suspicious activities.

Much like in human medicine, where vaccines must be regularly updated and adapted, protection against cyber threats must also always remain up to date.

“Vaccines” against malware through AI Life Rules

To keep your device one step ahead at all times, Protectstar relies on continuous pattern recognition and develops what are, in effect, “vaccines” against malware. This dynamic defense ensures that new malicious programs—whether state-sponsored or privately developed—are recognized and neutralized as early as possible. The so-called AI Life Rules make sure your device is protected as effectively as possible at all times against evolving threats.

Conclusion

Antivirus AI is an indispensable building block for your mobile protection, especially at a time when cyberattacks are becoming more and more sophisticated. State-sponsored trojans such as Pegasus or FinSpy in particular pose an enormous risk—for both individuals and businesses. Thanks to the learning AI approach, the use of Deep Detective, and the continuous development of AI Life Rules, you are sustainably and proactively protected against new threats.
