Anyone using BitDefender?

After a somewhat gruelling download, I got BitDefender Live to play
with, and it looks really promising. Basically, it's:
- Knoppix CDR-based Linux (which is in turn Debian)
- the Captive read/write NTFS support
- BitDefender antivirus
- LOTs of other Linuxware; Acrobat Reader, media viewers, browsers

It's an ISO, which makes a bootable CDR. To download it, you first
download and install a thing called Torrent, which is what runs the
stub file you get from the BitDefender site. I found the download
started at about 30k per sec on my ADSL, but after a few hours this
dropped to 1k or so - took over a day to download it.

It identified and worked with both XP systems I tried it on, including
support for my USB camera (as storage device) if that was plugged in
at boot time. Dunno how to hot-mount it later.

There are two challenges I must get right:

1) Get the NTFS files into the system

Captive works by shelling MS's own NTFS code, which is great for
compatibility. But you don't want it to find and use this from the
infected system, duh... so I need to get the relevant files onto the
camera, or USB stick, or (ambitious) into the ISO.

2) Get and integrate av updates

These would have to live off the CDR, e.g. on the camera or USB stick.
The BitDefender docs are surprisingly scanty on how to update the av -
which you'd think would the first thing they'd cover! I didn't spend
a day downloading the ISO for it to be useless in a week, so...

Anyone else using this, and what's your mileage?
