A question,please.

reformatting hard drive and reinstalling Windows will remove keystroke logger,viruses AND rootkits?

thank-you

Technically, no. Like phones, computers have firmware. Anything you ever do, download, or see on your computer is embeded in your firmware. However, reformating can remove the virus from your computer rendering it useless, but that doesn't mean it is off of your computer for good.
