Which app is right for me? Anti Spy vs. Antivirus AI

Protectstar™ has developed two specialized security apps for Android that perfectly complement each other but can also be used independently. Both protect you and your data from espionage, malware, and digital threats. But which app is right for you—or should you even use both?

Anti Spy – The Privacy Specialist

Worldwide First Anti-Spyware with Double Certification (AV-TEST & DEKRA)
Ideal if you already have antivirus protection
Focus on Counter-Espionage: Detects and blocks hidden spy apps, stalkerware, and surveillance tools.
Perfect Addition: If you have a third-party antivirus installed and are satisfied, you can add Anti Spy cost-effectively to give your existing protection an extra boost in espionage defense and artificial intelligence.
Easy to Use: A lightweight app, intuitive to operate, and specifically designed to detect spying activities—ideal if you want to focus solely on protection against surveillance.

Tip: Anti Spy works seamlessly with any other security solution without causing conflicts.

Antivirus AI – The All-in-One Solution

AV-TEST Certified for the third consecutive year
Winner of the BIG Innovation Award 2025 and AI Excellence Award
Comprehensive Malware Protection: Covers everything from viruses and trojans to ransomware, spyware, and phishing.
Artificial Intelligence: Thanks to AI-based analyses, Antivirus AI quickly and reliably detects novel or previously unknown threats.
Convenient and Simple: Install once, click once, fully protected. Ongoing live scans ensure your smartphone is always up to date.

Can I Use Both Apps?

Yes, absolutely!
Although you do not necessarily need both apps, you can certainly install Anti Spy and Antivirus AI in parallel. Both are from the same provider and complement each other perfectly without interference. This can be useful, for example, if you are already using a third-party antivirus but would like to try out the proven AI capabilities of Antivirus AI—while still running Anti Spy as a lightweight solution for additional AI-based protection against spyware and surveillance.

When is Anti Spy Alone Sufficient?

You already have antivirus protection from another provider:
- You are happy with it and do not want to switch.
- You still need targeted protection against spyware, without duplicating features.
Budget Considerations:
- Anti Spy is cost-effective.
- Ideal for users who already have antivirus and only want to add spyware protection.

When is Antivirus AI the Better Choice?

All-in-One Protection:
- Modern and widely recognized thanks to its dual-engine approach. It surpasses many traditional virus scanners with an impressive detection rate of over 99.9%.
Premium Features:
- Anti-Ransomware, Deep Detective™, and AI Live Scans.
- Optimal for banking, sensitive emails, or professional data.
Convenience:
- Regular updates and AI-driven threat detection keep you fully protected.

Conclusion

Anti Spy is the world’s first anti-spyware app with double certification (AV-TEST & DEKRA). It’s your reliable specialist against spying if you already have another antivirus solution—or even just Antivirus AI—and want something cost-effective, lightweight, and highly effective.
Antivirus AI has been AV-TEST certified for three consecutive years and was recently honored with the BIG Innovation Award 2025 and even the AI Excellence Award. It’s your comprehensive security solution if you want cutting-edge malware detection but only need basic anti-spyware functions.
Together or separate? Both apps can be run in parallel without issue. Depending on your security and convenience needs, you can decide whether to add a specialized solution or use both apps as a “complete package.”
