An elderly neighbor was duped into giving remote access to an unsolicited phone caller. After many problems ensued, she did not want the computer anymore despite the possiblity of have the malware removed through forums like this. I formatted the hard drive and installed a Linux-based OS. Do I need to be concerned about a hardware rootkit infection? Thank you in advance for any advice given.

I wouldn't think so but with any infection it's impossible to be 100% sure that any machine is clean.
