Eliminating malware and extraneous applications

I am trying to clean up my son's MacBook. It has malware (search baron) and some applications (not Apple) that I want to eliminate. Also 4,000 emails of no value. I am planning on reinstalling the operating system it came with (vintage 2016). Does this clean out everything on the unit. Or should I perform an "erase" first?

General Question about Undetected Malware and Trojan Horses I'm curious about malware and Trojan Horses that can remain undetected. Are they installed in the System, User Folder or both. Between scam emails, downloaded apps, files, kids using the machine over the years on my Late 2009 iMac(Sierra), I was wondering if it would be worth wiping the drive clean. Wiping the drive clean would also probably improve performance after 13 years of upgrades. The 2009 iMac is not my main machine so nothing here is necessarily mission critical. So to be sure the new install is completely clean, how would the old User Folder be treated. Is it best to have both a new System and User Folder.

Will erasing you hard drive and reinstalling Ventura get rid of malware on the shelll? I have been hacked at the core level. A bad actor has screen share and control access. I have used disk utility to erase my start up hard drive and using the remote install utility I am reinstalling Ventura. Will this clear core access and make this computer malware free?
