WHY ANTI SPY

Your smartphone knows you better
than anyone else.

Location. Conversations. Photos. Banking data. Everything on one device. Spyware turns exactly that into a vulnerability — silently, invisibly, and often installed by someone you trust.

Traditional antivirus apps look for files that harm your device. Spyware targets something else: you. Your location, your messages, your microphone. Anti Spy is built exactly for that.

WITHOUT ANTI SPY

Your smartphone may be listening.
And you may not know who is listening in.

Location Messages Microphone Camera

WITH ANTI SPY

Your smartphone stays private.
And you can see what is running inside.

Real-time protection active

Not for every threat. For the threats that target you personally.

DETECTION TECHNOLOGY

Two layers of protection. One clear goal.

Known spyware is detected instantly. New, disguised, and unknown threats are analyzed by AI. Two technologies. Layered protection.

ENGINE 1 · BEHAVIORAL AI

Deep Detective™
+ AI Cloud

Detects spyware by behavior — not just by known signatures. Learns with every scan.

Heuristic · adaptive · cloud-powered

ENGINE 2 · SIGNATURE SCAN

Specialized
spyware scanner

Cross-checks every result with a second engine. What one engine misses, the other often catches. Fewer blind spots.

130M+ signatures · updated hourly

Parallel analysis. Intelligent cross-checking. Fewer false alarms, fewer missed spyware threats.

WORLD FIRST

No other anti-spyware app has both.

Anti Spy is the world’s first and only anti-spyware app with dual certification. Simultaneously. Independently tested. Unique.

AV-TEST · JANUARY 2025

Anti Spy detects 99.8% of real spyware threats — more than many traditional antivirus solutions.

MASA L1

MASA L1

DEKRA · FEBRUARY 2026

No open interfaces. No unencrypted data. No backdoors. Tested according to OWASP standards.

PROTECTION SCOPE

Six threats. One answer.

Spyware takes many forms. Anti Spy is built to expose them.

Stalkerware & partner surveillance

Your ex reads your messages. Your partner knows every location. Apps like mSpy and FlexiSPY make it possible — Anti Spy makes it visible.

Government-grade spyware tools

Pegasus. FinSpy. Tools used by governments to monitor journalists and activists. Anti Spy checks known indicators, signatures, and behavior patterns of advanced surveillance tools.

Keyloggers & backdoors

Every keystroke. Every password. Every message. Keyloggers record it all — and you notice nothing.

SMS & GPS trackers

Someone knows where you are. Right now. GPS trackers and SMS spies abuse permissions you granted once.

Ransomware & banking Trojans

Your photos encrypted. Your account drained. Banking Trojans and ransomware strike before you notice.

Hidden & disabled spyware

Not in the app drawer. Not in settings. Disguised as a system service. Invisible to almost everything — except Anti Spy.

PROTECTED IN 60 SECONDS

One tap. One scan. Clarity.

New spyware appears every day. Anti Spy detects it by behavior — not only after someone else has already been infected.

That is all you do. One button. No settings, no configuration, no technical knowledge.

130M signatures + Dual Engine + AI CLOUD

FOR ADVANCED PROTECTION

When standard scans are not enough.

Some threats are so well disguised that even specialized scanners can be fooled. The Government Edition goes deeper: with Heuristic Deep Scan, it detects Trojans and surveillance tools built for targeted attacks before they can do damage.

PRIVACY COMPARISON

An app that protects you
must not track you.

Many security apps collect more data about you than they block. Anti Spy contains exactly zero trackers. Verified by Exodus Privacy.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Questions? Answers.

The most important things users want to know before downloading — answered briefly and honestly.

Is Anti Spy really free?

Yes. The Free Edition is completely free — no trial and no time limit. Ever. Pro starts at EUR 5.95/year and Government at EUR 9.95/year, paid once for the year, with no subscription. Pro is only 1.6 cents per day.

Does Anti Spy collect my data?

Anti Spy contains no advertising IDs and no third-party tracking SDKs. This has been independently checked by Exodus Privacy. For scanning, licensing, cloud detection, and technical diagnostics, only the technical data required for those purposes is processed — never private content such as messages, photos, contacts, or location data. Your data is not shared with advertising networks. Details are available in the Privacy Policy.

Do I need Anti Spy if I already have an antivirus app?

Yes. Traditional antivirus apps specialize in malware — meaning files that harm your device. Spyware, stalkerware, and trackers, however, are often regular apps with abused permissions. They do not target your device first; they target your privacy. Anti Spy is built exactly for that. For layered protection, Anti Spy works best together with Antivirus AI.

What happens if Anti Spy finds something suspicious?

You receive a clear alert with an easy-to-understand explanation: which app is involved, what the risk is, and which permissions it uses. With one tap, you can remove the app or first add it to the whitelist if you trust it. You always stay in control — Anti Spy does not make decisions without you.

Can Anti Spy detect every spyware threat?

No security solution detects 100% of all threats — promising that would not be credible. Anti Spy combines three approaches to be as reliable as possible: more than 130M signatures of known spy apps, AI-powered behavior analysis for new threats, and a cloud that learns every day. AV-TEST has confirmed a 99.8% detection rate.

Do I need root access or technical knowledge?

No. Anti Spy runs on any Android device without root access. You do not need technical knowledge: download the app from the Play Store, tap “Scan” once — that is it. In under 60 seconds, you know whether your device is clean.

Do I need the Government Edition?

For most users, the Pro Edition is more than enough. The Government Edition is designed for people exposed to above-average risk — journalists, attorneys, activists, executives, or organizations with sensitive data. It includes Heuristic Deep Scan for advanced surveillance tools and experimental AI features before they are integrated into Pro.

What does dual certification by AV-TEST and DEKRA mean?

AV-TEST (January 2025) confirms a 99.8% detection rate against real spyware samples — measured independently. DEKRA MASA L1 (February 2026) confirms that the app itself is built securely: no open interfaces, no unencrypted data, no hidden backdoors — according to OWASP standards. Anti Spy is the only anti-spyware app worldwide with both certifications at the same time.

I suspect stalkerware in a dangerous situation — what should I do?

If you believe an abusive person may be monitoring your device, please act carefully. Removing stalkerware can, in some cases, alert the person monitoring you and put you at risk. Whenever possible, use a safer second device or a trusted computer to seek help. In the U.S., confidential support is available from the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-SAFE (7233), 24/7. You can also contact local support organizations. Your safety comes first.

Privacy is not a luxury.
It is a basic right.
