For starters I do not have the google analytics app on my phone. I've been suspicious of a spyware called hoverwatch that my boyfriend put on my android and everytime I delete it (it seems to be disguised as 'Sync Service') or restore my phone to factory settings, it reappears. I change my password frequently so I'm not sure how he keeps being able to put it back onto my phone unless he can do it from another device somehow. I went onto my google activity through chrome and it says that google analytics visited the Hoverwatch login site multiple times. I have no idea if he tapped into my SIM card if possible or what else he could be doing. My McAfee security is always being disabled somehow to not run in the background. My play store app keeps changing the security settings, as well as the "enable to download from unknown sources" keeps getting turned on. What could he have done to where he doesn't need the password or the phone directly to keep downloading it and monitoring my activity on my phone? Is this something to do with google analytics? I need some help guys I'm at a dead end and don't know what else to do.

Hi, this is not a whole answer, but try running Malwarebytes on your phone. It's available on Google Play. Good luck.

Welcome to Android Central! Back up your important data, then do a factory reset. When you set the phone back up, don't let it restore from a previous backup -- set it up like a brand new phone instead. Make sure you create a good password for the phone that no one could guess, and also make sure you have 2-step authentication turned on for your Google account. Finally, don't let anyone mess around with your phone. And if your boyfriend really is doing this kind of stuff, it's time for a change. Invading another person's privacy is a crime.
