Either that or it's the biggest, baddest rootkit this side of Russian Mob. I don't see why our friendly Russian Business Network would bother with a novelty like that; causing havoc on your machine is far less profitable than leaving a rootkit there to log all your keystrokes, credit card numbers, mailing addresses, etc. So yeah, pitch the hard disk. If it still has issues, then it's probably easier to destroy the entire system instead of letting little bits of defective hardware ruin other perfectly good machines. And yes, "destroy..." get creative!
