NEW!Pioneering Spirit in Cybersecurity
Since our founding in 2004, we have been setting new standards in digital security. Our drive: innovations that protect our users from the complex threats of the digital world.
In 2005, we were the first company to recognize the security risks of mobile devices, ushering in a new era of smartphone security.
In 2007, we introduced the powerful Extended AES© and the Secure Deletion Algorithm©, now considered one of the most secure methods for data deletion.
In 2011, we launched iShredder™, a simple yet secure data deletion tool that has become the standard for iOS and Android devices.
In 2016, we set the standard for camera and microphone protection on macOS and Android with Camera Guard™ and Micro Guard™– long before similar features were integrated into popular operating systems.
In 2019, we redefined spyware protection with Anti Spy, the first AI-based antispyware app for Android.
In 2023, we made a statement on sustainability by redesigning our website. By optimizing energy consumption and reducing the carbon footprint to 0.07g CO2 per visit– 1.4 times less than Greenpeace's energy-efficient website, Protectstar reinforces its commitment to a climate-neutral future.
In 2024, we achieved a malware detection rate of 99.87% with Anti Spy 6.0, as certified by AV-TEST.
Our expertise and technologies, such as Deep Detective, led to the development of Antivirus AI, an AI-based antivirus scanner with an outstanding detection rate of 99.956%.
Our pioneering spirit continues to drive us: we are already working on new groundbreaking technologies to shape the future of digital security.
In 2025, Antivirus AI received the prestigious BIG Innovation Award and the acclaimed AI Excellence Award, as well as the renowned AV-TEST certification for the third consecutive year. The successful year was perfectly rounded off with DEKRA MASA L1 security certifications for iShredder, Anti Spy, and Antivirus AI for Android.
