Malevolence is based on magic jar, which is not affected by break enchantment (it is not an enchantment, not a transmutation, and not a curse). Can a protection from evil spell break the ghost's possession, or can it only prevent possession in the first place? Magic jar (Malevolence) doesn't control the mind of the host. It replaces it entirely. Hence it's not [Mind-Affecting]. Protection from alignment would prevent the possession, but would have no effect on an already possessed host as the spell doesn't grant ongoing contol of the subject's mind.
