The problem with mine is when I go connect the wifi in settings and when I choose the wifi for my home it straight away says General: Memory Full. Close some applications and try again.

@Kingmatthewshaun You can format the Mass Memory through the File Manager.
The bugs which are present in the FW can only be fixed via FW updates. Make sure you keep your device updated. As far as trojans are concerned, you can breathe easy. AFAIK, except for some malware which you have to sign & install, there are no viruses or trojans on S60v5.

if this only wipes the phone memory, how do i format the mass memory?
im sure there are some bugs or trojans of somekind on my phone and i want to completely clear out everything?
