Your N900 has not got a virus.

If you want to 'format' your N900 you need to 'flash' it. Yes, you will loose all your installed apps.

Not a virus. But please use a new thread instead of hijacking this one.

There are no viruses for the N900. Check your CPU usage from using `top` in xterm and check which process is consuming the most.

Virus are a self propagating software. There has only been a few for Linux in the past 20 years. Malware is very much a Windows (and now Mac OS X) thing.

The platform that is a little difficult widespread interest in creating virus.

But using the packages sudo rootfs and greatly facilitates the work of executing malicious code.
