Someone could be reading your private messages, reviewing your photos, or tracking your every move—and you wouldn't even notice. Run a scan now, uncover any hidden processes, and clear your device of spyware before someone else copies a single piece of data.

Install Anti-Spy Mobile, Malwarebytes, and Certo; set up your shields in less than five minutes and see on-screen, alert after alert, which apps are trying to access your microphone, camera, or SMS without permission. Regain your peace of mind and keep your information protected 24/7.

In recent years, stalkerware has moved beyond professional spying circles and into everyday life: jealous partners, indiscreet bosses, and anonymous extortionists install invisible apps that record screens, activate microphones, and send real-time locations. The good news is that defense is within reach of any user. With three complementary tools, you can scan known signatures, analyze abusive permissions, block suspicious connections, and remove hidden administrator profiles on iOS.

The goal isn't to scare you, but rather to provide you with a precise, repeatable, and easy-to-maintain method. Below, you'll find a seven-day plan designed to take you from suspicion to certainty, cleaning your device and establishing permanent barriers. If you follow each step—without skipping a single one—you'll end the week with comparative reports, a strengthened configuration, and the confidence that no intruder will be able to sneak in again.

Seven-day route to protect your cell phone

Day 1 – Initial Deep Scan

• Run Anti-Spy Mobile and Malwarebytes on Android; on iPhone, connect to Certo from your computer and generate a PDF report.
• Save screenshots of all your results in a folder called "0 km Security." It will serve as a reference at the end of the week.

Day 2 – Cleanup of sensitive permissions

• Check accessibility, device administrators, and support services; disable any unknown apps.
• Check the camera and microphone: If a flashlight app requests audio, remove it immediately.
• Run Anti Spy Mobile again and make sure the list of suspects has been narrowed down.

Day 3 – Real-time monitoring

• Activate continuous protection on your main detector (Pro or Premium edition).
• Set alerts when a newly installed app requests SMS, screen recording, or persistent geolocation.
• Install a test app and verify that the alert is triggered; adjust sensitivity if necessary.

Day 4 – Network and traffic audit

• Install a lightweight firewall (NetGuard on Android or Lockdown on iOS) and see which apps try to contact external servers.
• Block any host that is not part of an essential function.
• Repeat a scan with Malwarebytes: Blocked apps should disappear from the risk list.

Day 5 – System Reinforcement

• Update Android or iOS to the latest version.
• Change your PIN or unlock password; add a fingerprint or face if your model allows it.
• Enable SIM change alerts and full storage encryption.

Day 6 – Selective Backup and Restore

• Back up your photos, documents, and chats encrypted.
• If any detector confirms an infection that cannot be cleaned, reset it to factory settings.
• Reinstall only essential apps, scanning them with Malwarebytes before granting critical permissions.

Day 7 – Cross-checking and documentation

• Run Anti-Spy Mobile, Malwarebytes, and Certo again and compare the reports with those from "0 km Security."
• Keep a security log: date, apps removed, settings changed, lessons learned.
• Share your experience (without private data) on forums or social networks using the hashtag #PrivacidadBlindada and encourage others to conduct their own audit.

Precautions and continued good practices

• Keep spyware databases up to date; set up automatic downloads.
• Be wary of any app that requests accessibility or screen recording without a clear reason.
• Enable two-factor authentication for your critical accounts; a keylogger can't steal your second factor.
• Run a quick scan every Friday; consistency is the best shield against new threats.
• Use VPN and HTTPS connections to avoid data interception on public networks.

Share and strengthen the community

The more users report suspicious processes, the faster the signatures of Anti-Spy Mobile, Malwarebytes, and Certo are updated, and the harder it will be for spyware to remain hidden. Publish your list of findings (without sensitive information) and the steps to remove them: your contribution can save someone else's privacy... and strengthen yours every time the community shares new information.
