  1. Change you Google password - this will take care of the lost notebook
  2. Set up two step authentication on your Google account - this will force you to enter a code texted to your phone to sign into your google account on any other device, so anyone would need both your new password AND the unique six digit code that expires after a few minutes.
  3. After you do 1&2, factory reset your phone - This will eliminate anything nefarious that could have been installed on your phone IF someone had been able to gain access to your account. You will need to sign in with your new password and the six digit code again.
At any point, ask here and someone will walk you through the steps in greater detail if you need it.

And are there not some things that whenever phone reboots or is reset it still gets in? Because it says in my memory on phone that i have an external ad card which I do not and keeps saying storage space running out every so often but without doing anything it fixes itself

Oh, so you have a new google account on a new phone? The steps above would still apply, especially setting up two step. If I sign into my account on a new device (e.g. TV, Phone, Tablet, Watch, a different computer, etc.) I still need to add my password and the randomly generated one time code. Once I do, I get an alert on all my devices that a new device signed on, and an email.

The only ways anyone could hack you device is to have physical access to the device (and the pin or unlock pattern) or access to the google account to push apps to the phone.
