Has anyone tried BitDefender's network scanner?

Subject: [SECURITY] Conflicker/NMAP

I realize many folks may not want to answer this, but has anyone had many positives/infections with the released nmap 
scan for Conflicker?  So far we seem to be coming up clean and many other folks I've talked to or emailed with have 
come up clean as well.  I'm just concerned about the possibility of false negatives.  Of course, the problem may not be 
particularly wide-spread except in the eyes of some media outlets.

Thanks,
