You should be able to get the updates from the web prior to running the 
AV scan.  I recently built a Bart's PE boot CD w/ McAfee command line 
scan, Stinger, Adaware and other tools.  Those all allowed me to run the 
update prior to scan, the updates just aren't saved.  you could burn to 
a CDRW for a tool like that and maybe download an updated iso every 
couple of months.  I will just rerun my Bart's PE builder script every 
once in a while with the updates applied (new SDAT).

By the way, where did you download Linux Defender from?  I don't have 
bit torrent and prefer to get just a plain iso.
