I have lost and found my iPhone 3GS. But apparently someone tried to use mine or had some intent to exploit it, and now I am a little paranoid about my iPhone.

Fortunately, I have a very recent backup stored on my laptop and the iOS is up-to-date. I have looked up some references to wipe out the iOS and did factory setting recovery under DFU mode with an ipsw file stored in iTunes. Is this a true complete wipe out of iOS?

(I want basically jail-break and sudo rm -rf / style wipe out. I don't want any funky business such as malware or virus going on my iPhone...)
