Thanks for the help so far - nothing seems to have picked it up yet though.
Is there anything that can be run from linux  to do a complete scan on
an NTFS  partition as its a dual boot machine?

Have you tried using the online scanners from a variety of different
vendors, McAfee, Norton and any others. Assuming they still have those.

I'd guess those would use the same virus pattern definitions the local program would use, so if the local one won't find it I'd be surprised if they did. Having said that perhaps the local installation has been infected so the remote one might do better.
