A bit useless. The right solution would be to simply not connect the N900 to untrusted hosts, and more importantly, not enabling mass storage mode when connected to an untrusted host.

A Windows virus could destroy all of your ext3 partition even if it did not understand it.

I am wary if reflashing is the best option considering the host PC is probably already infected. The best option would be to either trash the host PC or get a proper antivirus and/or operating system.
