You may want to reinstall the operating system from scratch. Tracking down 
vulnerable files can be difficult, especially if you don't have a 
specification covering all the attributes and metadata about the files on 
your system.

Also in many cases, there may be kernel modules or compromised tools that 
make it difficult to analyze and recover. You may want to use a LiveCD or 
rescue disk to help analyze your system.

As for an IDS, you have many options to think about: real-time scanning of 
network activity, proactively blocking or just alerting, and 
after-the-fact detection (like log checkers and file integrity checking).
