Hello,

I'll post my reply in English for clarity, as I'm not a Spanish speaker. The short answer is yes, Bitdefender Mobile Security for Android does detect a wide range of malicious threats, including many types of malware and spyware, but with important limitations depending on the threat type. For starters, it does detect Pegasus, arguably the most dangerous mobile spyware:

Elaborating on its capabilities, Bitdefender performs real-time scanning of apps, files and storage, for known malware, including spyware and trojans used for espionage or data theft, using cloud-backed threat intelligence and signature/behavior detection. It monitors app activity for suspicious behavior (unusual access to data, resources, or permissions), which helps catch malicious apps that try to run covert operations. App Anomaly Detection is a Bitdefender Mobile Security feature that protects against apps that are trying to monitor your activity, steal financial data, personal data, social media logins, actual money, cryptocurrencies, NFTS & others. App Anomaly Detection requires Android 6 and later.

While Bitdefender uses cloud-based and behavior-based detection to catch some unknown threats, no antivirus can guarantee blocking all zero-day exploits before they’re identified and added to detection databases. Some advanced exploit chains may evade detection temporarily.
BMS can flag apps that access SMS or send messages in suspicious ways, but it won’t automatically flag every cryptic SMS as malicious unless it’s tied to malware behavior.

If you’re concerned about highly targeted spyware or advanced RATs, consider combining Mobile Security with dedicated forensic tools or services designed to audit devices for signs of covert compromise. Note that these often require expert use outside standard antivirus apps. The app cannot really detect covert system-level surveillance techniques used by highly advanced state-grade spyware, unless those threats are detectable through app scanning or behavior anomalies. This is a general limitation of mobile antivirus technology, not specific to Bitdefender.
