Thanks Eion,
I had already found that web page, amongst others. I do have a netbook with an older version of Win installed...(8?)
I have however, since writing the e-mail this morning, got a working installation of SOPHOS- at least from the CLI, the Web UI doesn't appear to work.
Scanning as I type!
I had thought of using an online scan, or one of the recovery scanners run from a USB or DVD, but couldn't get clarity on if they would scan EXT filesystems...
Will let everyone know how SOPHOS fares as it seems interesting to me that Virus scanners for Linux seem so thin on the ground given the apparent increase in people choosing Linux above other OS's...

Thanks for your response.

Anthony
