A new variant of the Zbot/Zeus Trojan has been discovered, prompting one security specialist to call for improvements in malware protection.

According to Trusteer, A leading provider of virus protection solutions, the discovery should encourage the virus and malware protection industry to 'ratchet up' its strategy.

Mickey Boodaei, Trusteer's chief executive, explained that the Trojan, which exploits Adobe PDF files and attaches to otherwise trusted programmes, highlights how quickly cybercriminals can exploit security issues.
