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.
In 2025
Antivirus AI won the coveted BIG Innovation Award as well as the prestigious AI Excellence Award, and was certified by AV-TEST for the third year in a row. iShredder received the prestigious Fortress Cybersecurity Award.
This success was rounded off by the DEKRA MASA L1 security certifications for iShredder, Anti Spy, and Antivirus AI.
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%.
