¿maybe related to this App that you are running with exactly the same name?
[Running] com.mw.www.mwDeviceListenr.plist (Shenzhen Excelsecu Data Technology Co.,ltd. - installed 2015-12-01)

you should get your device scanned for malware. that item name looks suspicious
Looks old and over-full and having some hardware issues, and quite possibly some software issues.
You’re going to need to find somebody more familiar with apps and services in China mainland, as there are various payment-, financial-, and smartcard-related apps installed here.
The mwDeviceListenr appears associated with Shenzhen Excelsecu Data Technology Co.,LTD USB-related tools installed in 2015.
The Google apps are being Google apps, and are busy doing who-knows-what.
The battery is well used, and probably headed for replacement.
The SSD is also looking unusually slow, which can means a failure, and can also be caused by having too little free space.
The current usage has well exceeded the available memory, too.
Graphics-related processing appears unhappy too, though whether that’s hardware, an app, lack of memory, or something else?
If you’re going to continue to use this, I’d consider removing the Google apps and any other spps else you don’t need.
your query is the ONLY thing found on the entire internet with that spelling.
are you certain you spelled that correctly?
In Activity Monitor, highight it then click on the tiny i icon, does show the parent process?
yep, it's mwDeviceListenr if case-sensitive matters. not finding anything else on the internet is exactly why i'm so confused
says launchd(1)
Thanks, didn’t help as I thought it would, launchd
Mr Hoffman has good advice.
Definitely have some other issues with the computer that I need to deal with... but currently just looking for answers about this mwDeviceListenr. Any other helpful tips are appreciated as well
