Does Kasperksy AV scan PDFs?

We've had two infected PDFs since UT was installed. Does it scan PDFs? Both were infected with the Bloodhound trojan. I'm surprised that KAV didn't catch it.

not by default - you can add it in Kaspersky Virus Blocker->Settings->Web->File Extensions.

Well, I have to say NO! It does not scan pdf even if you add it!
I have the same problem (not with the same virus) but still a pdf file that I did report to Kaspersky yesterday, today when I upload it to Virustotal, Kaspersky detects the malware.
Still I can download it thru our Untangle filter with Kaspersky enabled, the sign are updated today as well so that cant be the problem.

Ideas anyone?
