How about the Linux versions of antivirus software like AVG,
Avast, F-Prot, Clamav, Avira AntiVir ?
binary-only versions are out unless the vendor specifically provides maemo builds, source you can try to compile yourself. Anyway antivirus is mostly useless on device like this (though AFAIRecall clamAV package is in repo)

Same for IDS.

See my sig for links with more info.
