Welcome to Android Central! So you've spoken to him about this, but still have a spyware app? FYI, we don't allow discussions on spyware, since violating another person's privacy (even if it's your significant other) can be considered illegal.

If either of you are in the habit of logging into public computers with your Google account (or other accounts), and then forgetting to log out, that can lead to other people's searches showing up in your history. Most of the time, it's not malicious -- they just sat down at the terminal and started searching, assuming they were using a guest account. But I wouldn't be surprised if some people camp out at public places like a library and wait for a person to get off the computer without signing out.

You should change the passwords of Google account and any other sensitive accounts, and make sure they're difficult to guess -- don't use your dog's name or your kid's birthday, for example. Also take advantage of 2-step authentication (especially with your Google account), which makes it much harder for anyone to get into your account.

Yes he wanted it on his phone as well.. He has had 3 different numbers 3 different phones and 3 different emails. All have done the same... Here is what we are afraid of last year and half he cheated and also went on some possible sites where ppl can hack n2 your phone. One of the women (not from the site) kinda fell for him. We think also she might have something to do with it..

It's still a good idea to change all of your passwords -- or better yet, use a password manager app like LastPass that can create and remember complex passwords for each of your accounts and websites, and all you have to do is remember the master password for LastPass (or use your fingerprint sensor).

I'd also make sure your account with your carrier is well-secured, to make sure no one else can gain access. Carriers will often require you to set some kind of PIN or password that you speak to the agent when you first call them, so change that as well.

As far as I can tell, LightboxCDN is for "personalized and targeted web forms and on-site widgets to grow your lists and increase sales." Typing in that URL redirects to digioh.com, which does the same thing (they either bought LightboxCDN, or changed their name). I'm not sure what you mean by "your phone's settings all sites page" -- are you talking about your Google Activity history? This could be evidence of adware, associated with some app you may have installed, or some website that is associated with intrusive ads.
