Snagged an old iMac computer, will a hard reset take care of viruses?

Post Body
My mom gave me her old iMac, but it runs really slow. According to her, it’s because it’s full of information and might have a virus or two.
There’s nothing important on there so I’m wondering if resetting it all will save me a trip to the genius bar. It’s decently old (at least 5 years but not more than 8). I just turned it on and it looks like it functions okay but I haven’t done too much digging around in it.
