Alan, Well all their MSE's were/are up to date and I'm afraid it didn't catch it so I guess it is probably a new derivative which hasn't yet been uploaded into the definitions.
I know that the infected machine was completely updated as I reloaded windows 7 onto i myself 10 days ago and updated MSE and also when I looked at the machine after the infection the first thing I did was look at the definitions to see that they were up to date.
