The BitDefender folks publish something called "LinuxDefender" which is 
nothing more than a Knoppix variant with the latest BitD buried within.

It stores the signatures and unpacker engines on a unionfs volume at boot 
time and can therefore be dynamically updated.

Some time before, I'd stitched BitD into Helix (www.e-fense.com) without 
much effort.  The net effect is LinuxDefender, but it's easier for me to 
just maintain one tool for our use.

I've found BitD to be better than most native-Windows antivirus software. 
Much of that, of course, is having the OS out of the way while scanning.

Hello list!

Do anybody know LiveCD antivirus products, or special LiveCD OSes for
antiviral use? Or is there any existing linux based antivirus program
that is able to refresh itself into memory?
