Ok so I have reason to believe that I have a rootkit that is fucking with some part of my computer, likely my hard drive. It's at 100% use just about all the time and my pc in general runs VERY slowly. As I understand with rootkits, your best bet is to wipe the hard drive somehow. My retarded ass threw away the win10 disk. I'm willing to buy another but should I use DBAN or will a format be enough?

Far more likely the hard drive is failing.
Or your SATA cable came loose.
Though malware can put it at 100%, there's usually signs.
