Help with wiping hard drive!
My newly built pc has been having many issues and I was thinking about reinstalling windows and wiping the hard drive.
However, I might have some sort of virus or a nasty program that might survive the formatting and clearing of the hard drive.
My questions are:
1. Is there a way I can run some scans to find out how much time I need to spend on wiping the hard drive?
2. How would I completely wipe the hard drive so that I am not taking any risks of any harmful programs staying on the hard drive?
