Comments by "Perhaps" (@NoEgg4u) on "Question: How Can I Remove a KeyLogger?" video.

  1. Unless Geek Field Notes offers a reason for why booting from a virus free disk (CD ROM or flash drive, for example), and using that bootable media as the foundation for erasing and re-creating all partitions, and reformatting the target drive, will not be sufficient for irradiating the keylogger, virus, etc (everything), then I do not agree that it is necessary to toss out a working drive, and incur the cost of a new drive. If the bad code got into the firmware, then that, too, can be reinstalled/updated via a clean boot device. If Geek Field Notes was just keeping it simple, then that is fine. But not everyone has spare hard drive $$ available. Also, this video gives the impression that a ""complete bastard" virus is, perhaps, not "data" based, but rather it is "biologically" based. After all, if a virus somehow is beyond being deleted via partitioning and formatting, then is must be a life form? To my knowledge, any offensive software (virus, key logger, trojan, worm, ransomware, etc) is just that -- it is software. It is software coded to be malicious. But it is still software. So under what circumstances should someone not use the option to re-partition, re-format, and re-install the OS?
