Since this morning, a shiny piece of software I never opted to run not even to install is eating 99% of my cpu.

I don't find any way to disable it (excepted killall...), and I can't even uninstall it:
tracker is needed by libtracker
libtracker is needed by libfolks
libfolks is needed by gnome-shell

Whereas I perfectly understand why tracker (the binary) would requires libtracker (the library), I really don't see why libtracker would make tracker presence mandatory. After all, if the main program is missing, I don't even need libtracker to be in working state, I just need its symbols to be available to libfolks...
