This issue has been solved. See solution.

I was wondering if SEP detected the Trojan named Zeus, which also goes by the name Zbot and PRG. I've been reading a number of articles on the internet lately and this seems like quite a high threat! The majority of AV softwre with latest definitions fails to detect this threat.

As far as I can tell the main route of infection is via spam email links & attachments , so the majority of business should be safe if they have spam filters etc , but it still is a threat.

It would be interesting to see what Symantec know about this threat ?
