Step 2 – Downloading Certo AntiSpy

Why do I need a computer?
Due to restrictions imposed by Apple, apps installed on the phone cannot scan areas of the device where spyware typically hides. Therefore, Certo AntiSpy works via your computer, which allows it to perform a full and complete scan of the phone.
Step 3 – Installation & First Run
After downloading, run the installer and follow the onscreen instructions to install Certo AntiSpy onto your computer.
The first time you run Certo AntiSpy you will be prompted to enter your license key. You can find your license key in your Certo account or in your order confirmation email.
