youre not going to get a virus on that Linux device.
the worst that could happen is corruption....and that happens on any type of device...
the second worse that could happen is blue-jacking or wifi-jacking....but very highly unlikely on the meego platform still.
a virus would take over and destroy files or send them over or track your data....etc.. but the platform is just not big enough for those dark characters to even consider it, let alone, your device would require you to allow the connection if they tried to get to you via wif or bt.
have no fear of others getting you a virus and don't sweat even looking for some antivirus for it. you have more to fear being in a hot, dry sandy place like las vegas, holding the phone in your hand while grabbing a metal door handle to get into a casino and having the static electricity shock wake you up and connect to your device and corrupt the memory card or files on the device (happened to me twice at ces with my e90, two different times)

Thats why you should only backup what is absolutely necessary to avoid recontamination. Things like apps settings should be redone from scratch.
However, I am still of the opinion that it is unlikely you have a virus. The system is probably just clogged from too much use and needs a reset to tidy everything up again.
when you know that everything is working good, you should always create a new backup with that date. then just delete the older ones.
i usually have two backups in my memory. one that i just created and the one before it.
this way, even if it is backed up and i have not changed anything and start to have issues, you always have the one previous to use.
there are 2 musts when you are using electronics and installing apps and software on them...
1. backup
2. backup OFTEN
