PrivacyScanner

PrivacyScanner is an essential mobile application designed to safeguard your privacy by detecting and identifying potentially harmful spyware or stalkerware on your device. Whether you suspect unwarranted tracking from an employer, a partner, or anyone else, this tool serves as your first line of defense, offering peace of mind about the security of your personal information.

With its ability to recognize over 4,292 spy and surveillance apps, the app provides a comprehensive scan for a wide array of spying technologies. These include applications capable of tracking your location, reading your messages, accessing your contact list and call history, and even monitoring your calendar details.

Key features include the detection of various known stalkerware, such as SpyBubble and eBlaster Mobile, and examining apps that require suspicious permissions. Heuristic scans are employed to catch newer and less known threats. Additionally, it identifies anti-theft apps that could be exploited to spy on you and provides detailed insights into any detected threats.

One of the advantages is its user-friendly interface and the availability of a free protection layer against spy apps, which can greatly enhance your device's privacy security. Users can customize scans and manage a personal whitelist to tailor protection to their needs.

For more proactive users, the Pro version offers additional security layers such as daily scheduled scans, detection of new installs, advanced heuristic engines to spot new and unknown threats, and checks for non-standard phone settings, among other features, including priority updates and support for continuous development.

It's important to actively keep the software updated to benefit from the latest protection features. While not a standalone antivirus program, PrivacyScanner specializes in rooting out stalkerware, which can sometimes go undetected by standard antivirus solutions, making it an invaluable addition to your digital security toolkit.
