One of the _suspected_ viruses that ClamAV found...
I have seen at least one report online that ClamAV _incorrectly_
identifies something in the Windows Swapfile as a virus which isn't
one.

Shouldn't that be:-
# mount -t ntfs -o rw /dev/sdb1 /media/disk

Google plus "mount filesystem read-write" finds:-
HowTo Mount NTFS Filesystem Partition Read Write Access in ...
http://www.swerdna.net.au/linhowtontfs.html
Which reveals:-
hostname:~ # mount -t ntfs-3g -o rw,uid=1000,gid=100,umask=0022
/dev/sda2 /path_to/mount_point
