Good afternoon kellula,


Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!


I understand you are having some issues with the trackpad on your MacBook Pro and you are seeing entries for the Teamviewer app in Console. Can you provide us with a few more details regarding your experience? Besides the trackpad responsiveness, what else is "odd" about the activity on your Mac? How long has this been going on? What has changed?


Use safe mode to isolate issues with your Mac - restart your Mac in safe mode and perform similar actions you were doing with your trackpad to test it's responsiveness. Then, restart the computer normally to test the trackpad again.


Do you see the TeamViewer app in your Downloads folder or in the Activity Monitor? If so, looking at the date of the download, can you remember if you were visiting a website regarding technical support? You can take action to delete the app from your computer, restore it to an earlier date using Time Machine and change the user admin password.


You can also change the password for your Apple ID account at any time - If you think your Apple ID has been compromised


I'll provide a few resources for you here. Please reply with additional information regarding this issue at your earliest convenience.
