Can anyone point me towards resources/people in the Twin Cities who could help someone rid their PC, Android device, etc of surveillance software installed by an abusive partner? She's getting a burner phone tomorrow but her whole digital life and business has been corrupted.

Today I learned that rich people have no idea how US health insurance and laws like EMTALA actually work.
