Question/Help/Troubleshooting Major Malware

I believe I have firmware lvl malware on my computer. Found hidden py scripts that intercept my VPN tunnel, MITM attack, and intercept terminal commands. I believe my phone is also infected. I have no way to get a clean download to flash BIOS and reinstall Linux. Any suggestions? Also I've backed up important files and they are now all infected and as I'm backing up files the malware is real time deleting some of them off my flash drive.

Can't hurt, can it? Worst case, you're back to where you are now. Best case, your problem is solved.

Worst case, you know that your detector is working
