Well, you didn't mention a filename, or a location it was found, or any
other details as to how you found it, some of which may have been
helpful. The link above does say:
"This is a heuristic detection which indicates that a file is possibly
infected with a Polymorphic Win32 virus. Win32 stands for 32-bit Windows
and includes Windows 95, 98, NT, 2000, XP, ME, etc. Ensure that you are
using the latest engine and DATs and send a copy of the file to AVERT
if it is still detected as "New Poly Win32""
So, try sending the file to AVERT and see what they say.
