Who Is Protectstar?

Protectstar is more than just another cybersecurity provider – we’re a global team of visionaries, hard at work since 2004 to make cybersecurity accessible to everyone. With over eight million users in more than 100 countries, our solutions – including Anti Spy, Antivirus AI, Camera Guard™, Firewall AI, Micro Guard™ and iShredder™ – safeguard smartphones, tablets, laptops, and servers every single day. And we do it simply, effectively, and affordably.

Our founder Chris Bohn – fondly known as “Mr. Protectstar” – had one bold vision: top-notch security at the cost of just 1 cent a day, so that anyone—from private individuals to global enterprises—can embrace confidence and freedom in the digital realm. We rely on cutting-edge AI technology and a privacy-by-design philosophy, gathering virtually no personal data and performing all analyses anonymously on secure cloud servers.

At the same time, we live by our commitment to sustainability: from energy-efficient data centers and optimized app designs to partnerships like our bee sponsorship program. We firmly believe technological progress and environmental protection can – and should – go hand in hand. Independent institutes such as AV-TEST regularly confirm our exceptional security standards, and accolades like the BIG Innovation Award 2025 underscore our goal to shape (“Shaping Security”) and simplify the digital landscape, making it safer for everyone.

In short, Protectstar stands for intuition, passion, and global security—rooted in a deep conviction that people and businesses deserve protection against the ever-evolving threats of the digital world.
