About this app

Protect your privacy from spyware, stalkerware & monitoring apps — with Anti Spy Detector & Scanner CB by cb innovations (Made in Germany).
Developed and maintained by cb innovations with a focus on privacy and clarity.
Your Android phone stores everything: private chats, photos, passwords, banking details and work data. Spyware and “spy apps” can hide in the background, abuse permissions and silently track activity. This Anti Spy Detector helps you run a clear spyware scan, identify suspicious apps and reduce privacy risks — fast and easy.

Spyware / stalkerware: what’s the risk?
Depending on the threat, malicious apps may try to:
• read notifications, messages and call logs
• track location and build behavior profiles
• abuse Accessibility and other permissions to stay active in the background
• show hidden ads (HiddenAds), redirects or suspicious pop‑ups

Spy detector for Android: scan suspicious apps
Anti Spy Detector & Scanner CB works as an anti spyware app, spyware scanner and stalkerware detector. It scans installed apps and key system areas to help you:
• find spy apps and monitoring tools running in the background
• detect stalkerware and other risky behaviors
• spot suspicious apps early — so you can disable or uninstall them
Results are explained in a user‑friendly way. You stay in control.

100M+ threat signatures
To recognize known threats quickly, the scan engine uses a database with 100,000,000+ spyware & malware signatures. It can help detect common Android threats such as:
• HiddenAds‑style ad campaigns & aggressive adware
• fake apps and fraudulent apps that mimic legitimate tools
• exploits and other known malicious patterns

Malware scan & cleanup support
Besides spyware, the built‑in malware scan can help you spot:
• trojans, ransomware and other malicious software
• adware and potentially unwanted apps
Use it as a practical spyware remover guide: review findings, then remove what you don’t trust.

What to do after a scan
After scanning, you can improve privacy in minutes:
• review suspicious apps and check their permissions
• remove apps you don’t recognize or no longer use
• restrict sensitive permissions (Location, SMS, Accessibility) to trusted apps only
• keep Android and apps updated to close security gaps

When should you scan?
Run a manual scan anytime — for example:
• after installing new apps
• if battery drains fast, the phone overheats or suddenly becomes slow
• if you see unusual pop‑ups, redirects or unexpected data usage
• if you suspect a monitoring app was installed without consent

Easy to use
Designed for everyday users:
• start a scan with one tap
• clean interface without complicated menus
• understandable results for non‑technical users

Privacy‑first & transparent
No registration required. Scans run directly on your device.
According to the Google Play “Data safety” section, this app does not collect user data and does not share data with third parties. Data is encrypted in transit.

I really would like a developer to respond to this! I really think it would be great if you could for free, get automatic scans from the app. An automatic time scheduled, and it will scan, and give you a notification from the app. If not possible, how about the app automatically tells you to scan every time, every day, for a certain part of that week?

I haven't used it much to be able to rate it 5 stars. However if it had a feature that automatically changed your settings for you I probably would rate it 4.5. It may I don't remember I made the mistake of thinking I'd try a couple. Then the other froze up and stopped and this asked to Uninstall the crashed app so I said yes. After more usage I might raise it to 5.

I really really love this app. It was literally my favorite app in the App Store. I would definitely recommend. A few months ago I deleted it tho to free storage in my phone. It was just for a while. Later then I downloaded it again. But it wasn’t the same as when I left it. Before it was easier. This app is the best but please, I need help with my issue. But again,, still a great app and am so happy I got to experience it back then.
