I recently saw a knoppix variant on distrowatch.com that I
downloaded called LinuxDefender

It has all of the bitdefender packages installed for linux
as well as the Captive NTFS driver installer
this makes it able to natively read and write to a NTFS file system
without any data corruption due to file system corruption, etc.

If anyone is interested in getting a copy of LinuxDefender to try I
think I can dig up a link to download it from, just let me know

I like your suggestion also James, it sounds very easy to use :)

Have a great day! :)
