I am waiting to find another infected machine so that I can test the
Linux Defender LiveCD.

I've not delved into INSERT deeply enough to say 100%, but wouldn't that
be 
more of an issue with ClamAV than INSERT itself? I thought INSERT was
using a 
pretty stock implementation of ClamAV. If that's so, any "LiveCD" could
well 
have the same 'quirks'.
