If it's DV related, absolutely take it to the police.
If it's just hackers, you can download proper programs to deal with it, or better yet take it into a proper phone / computer repair shop so the techies can do it properly.
What is the context behind this? Has your partner or ex done this? I would try and get a bit of proof that it was them first before taking it to police. Do something that you know will get a reaction like going to a certain place then lie about it to see if they tell you where you really were, try and get them to text it or record phone conversation.
If it's DV related, you can talk to 1800 RESPECT and ask them to point you in the direction of local organisations. I was given a $2k sweep of devices, home, car, etc. They checked out everything for me and gave me a report. The issue with spyware is it's hard to prove who did it.
You can take it to police but they'll likely tell you it's out of their jurisdiction and there's nothing they can do.

Do you know what the police will do? I've been told that they will think I'm crazy
