Not to mention, a format cannot touch the root sector of your HDD, thus that is where the root kit derives its name.

(facepalm) A format will remove all data. * +

Actually that's not very accurate. The data might still be on the drive, but a virus will not be able to be executed or even seen by a new install of an OS, unless you go out of your way to recover it. * +

Not a a worm or root kit, they can hide in the BIOS flash memory where a hard disk drive format cannot touch. You are now the n00B of the Year. (winner)

you must be really proud of your self i guess,
shame, you got no clue what you are talking about !
most(very, VERY rare exception actually !) modern motherboard wont let unauthorised data to be written into BIOS,
eventhough you can flash/update BIOS from windows(for example) !
i wonder how noobish do you look now ? * +

BTW, FYI, BIOS is NOT Flash Memory !
BIOS is EEPROM Memory !
Which is, we could say similar, but NOT the same !
Yea, i know, that must hurt hard,
I mean getting a small lesson from ''the n00b of the year''

It sounds like somebody seized root on your PC. In other words, you have an evil virus that allowed somebody to own your computer. And guess what, formatting the hard drive will not help one bit. The good news is that many antivirus companies and Microsoft offer free malicious tool removal kits.

''The good news is that many antivirus companies

If formatting the hard drive will not help one bit,
then how exactly any kind of malicious tool removal kits will help ?
I guess thats just third shock...
You must admit, I've just made ''Hat-trick'',
not bad for ''the n00b of the year'' huh (roflmao) * +
