Following from this thread http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?p=76946843 (not sure if that link worked) does anyone know if there's anyway to search for viruses or malware on a smartphone?

No, it's not necessary.

As somebody who has started development for iOS I can tell you that getting a piece of software onto a device is not for the fainthearted. A commercial developer once told me that if you manage to get a piece of software released on the iTunes App Store, that is a major achievement.

Apple vet everything that is released, so the chances of getting malware onto an iOS device is slim to none.
