Busy box/stalkerware

[Kingirish1986]

Hello Everyone,

I think I finally have this cleaned up but have kept an old hdd infected in case I have to turn over the drive for an investigation.  Most people think I am crazy but I know these things exist.

Long story short I was spending alot of time teaching myself programming and my wife was moving back in from a 9 month separation.  I didn't know, though I suspected, she has a tad bit of narcissism.  Right before coming back I noticed that someone had tampered with my new add, and had event logs showing hardware changes.  I had just upgraded ram and to an SDD and was puzzled by my gaming laptop struggling to run molded minecraft and Chrome.  This is when at work I noticed my login was being used to check my location via Google, from my air gapped machine.  Came home to the tampered case and began a very serious battle with what I highly suspect was stalkerware both on my pc, and my android phone.

 

I am at a loss what to do or what I could pull for someone who is interested in looking but I am currently trapped, even my router login landing page is bunk.  The infection on the pc is/was using busybox to virtualize my login.  She has moved out again as I pressed the issue with her knowing private communications and she is labeling me a nut and trying to keep my kids from me.

 

Hoping I can find someone to help that is familiar with these things as a hobby, since an attorney costs quite a bit and the authorities will require I press charges and I am not ready to take that step.  Mostly I want to know what I am dealing with as this is not the first time I have had these things happen and I have had every bit of privacy shredded.  Assange would be shocked and Snowden would go pro bono lol.
