Not popular for some

Part 1 of 2

Once this types of softwares are installed and embedded into the computer 

Start Over from Scratch 

Heavy Handed - Yes ?

You can spend hours or days hunting down all the bits and pieces of this software and never really get it all off the computer

Effective in removing the AV Software - Yes 

For Apple Silicon computer >> Use Disk Utility to erase a Mac with Apple silicon.

For Apple Intel computers >>   Use Disk Utility to erase an Intel-based Mac followed by How to reinstall macOS

Always make a Time Machine Backup  before  proceeding 

If going this route - I suggest Not using Startup Assist to migrate everything back.

This will probably Re-Introduce ( Antivirus apps and others ) back into the Operating System 

Part 2 of 2

Windows-like viruses that self-replicate and affect macOS don’t exist because of the underlying UNIX Foundation and permission limitations.

The macOS operating system resides in a sealed and read-only volume that can’t be opened by users or third-party applications. Full Stop.

Mac app security enhancements are sufficient to protect computers from malware.

Adware and malware can affect computers and are often downloaded from “shady” websites or developers who inject them into downloads.

What is malware? - Apple Community

Factory Resetting the Mac is the way to go. Do not use any AntiVirus as they are worthless and the only thing you will see are false positives.

Nothing in the log files show anything nefarious. Everything you see there is normal and the keywords you are concerned about are seen on all devices and part of the OS. Frankly, you will not find anything useful in the log files. Anything logged there is done by the engineer of the process and they have coded it to print that exact message. In no way is a nefarious process going to logging exactly what they are doing.

You will find much more scary words in the log files that are also perfectly normal and only lead people down a rabbit hole they can never find an exit for. Some of the other phrases you can expect to see are "Roots Installed", "Pegasus", "Remote Access", "Crypto", and "Stingray" to name a few. They do have a meaning to the Engineer that logged the message, but nothing you may think it is. The most famous log message where users felt like they were hacked said "Goodnight, Gracie". The Engineer was making a humorous reference to a George Burns movie in the log and users were convinced when they saw it that someone named Gracie had hacked their computer.

The only purpose for the log files are to send to Apple Engineers if they request them after opening a Support Ticket. They use specialized decoders to make some sort of sense out of them.

At least as far as I can tell, there is nothing in your screenshots to suggest any form of malware.

When you are looking at logs and samples such as those you are posting, you are bound to find many many many things that you and I don't understand.

Rather than trying to make sense of these logs, perhaps you can tell us why you thing you have been hacked. While not an impossibility that macs be hacked, in most cases we see here, it turns out to be the user's fear of being hacked.
