Upgrade from Mac OS X 10.9 to 10.11 -- will this remove malware running in RAM?
Will upgrading the Mac OS remove malware running in RAM?

Let's say there's malware running on the Mac in OS 10.9. This malware launches whenever the computer is booted and/or connected to the Internet. Will upgrading the operating system have any effect on the malware, that is, will the upgrade force the removal of the malware?
If there's no other change to the system other than the OS installation, will the malware continue to launch on boot after the upgrade is installed?
