Spyware & Stalkerware Detection
Signature matching against known spyware and malware families — including 'parental control' tools abused as stalkerware.
Commercial stalkerware is the fastest-growing threat on Android. These apps hide their icon, run as a system service, and silently upload messages, call logs, photos and GPS location. We maintain signatures for hundreds of spyware families and update them daily.
What this layer checks
- Detects commercial stalkerware sold as 'phone monitoring' or 'parental control'.
- Flags hidden-icon behavior and device-admin abuse used to resist uninstallation.
- Identifies data-exfiltration endpoints the app communicates with.
- Verdicts include the family name so you can research the specific threat.
Why it matters
Malware authors count on users never looking inside a file. This layer makes the inside visible — automatically, in seconds, and explained in plain English instead of analyst jargon. Combined with the other six layers, it feeds the single verdict you see at the top of every report: SAFE, WARNING, or MALWARE.
