    Will a fresh install of windows remove the possibility of a keylogger?


    Hi, Wanted to be absolutely safe since i recently, accidently clicked an infected websitedidn't download anything etc but the site itself allows you to download something that was supposedly infected with a keylogger. I reinstalled my OS, deleted the partition on the hard drive. Is this sufficient to remove a software based keylogger? I also noticed there was a small amount of data on the same drive that was a pre-existing partition, presumably from the manufacturer but i have no idea whats in this. It was there before this incident and its like 15gb or less. I'm not sure if its the windows
