5.1.1 Ensure that all anti-virus programs are capable of detecting, 
removing and protecting against all known types of malicious software.

[Honestly?  All TYPES?  Every time?]

Hmm, all known types... 
I'm really surprised it doesn't say all UN-known types, too. That's where

...of malicious software.  
Is the exploitable application the offender or the data that tries to get in
and  trigger the exploit? Which one do I delete or protect against? The
programs that read the PDF or the PDF itself?
