MALWARE STILL AT IT . 300% CPU, UNknown programs attempted to be launced .

its been 2 weeks now. Ive reformatted my drive full reset with an apple specialist. The instant I got home, I turned my macbook on and the fans started whirring and have almost never stopped. Yes ive tried the diagnostics, and all that. I dont know why people are seemingly oppossed to the idea of nefarious malware being the culprit. But I would like to ask the community to please at least consider it and help provide a solution in the event that my comp is actually "pwnd" . I would like to point out that not a single suggestion has been able to provide an effective solution to stop my computer from near burning temperatures whilst under the presumption that this whole thing is just some common snaffu . At this very moment all I am doing it typing on my browser but i can see in the background console the launch Daemon trying to open media related services and a remote connection .. How can I make this stop and how can I identify the root of the problem

?

Additionally you have something going on with Xcode:

Diagnostics Information (past 7-30 days):
  2020-10-21 00:54:05 Xcode.app Crash (43 times)
    Executable: /Applications/Xcode.app
    Details:
      CoreSimulator 732.17 - Device: iPhone 8 (13D4D7B2-FA79-46E0-947D-F6D58
      DD694BE) - Runtime: iOS 14.1 (18A8394) - DeviceType: iPhone 8

I'm not familiar with Xcode so you'll need to have someone take a look at that also. Is it up to date?
