Cybercrooks are trying to breach PCs through previously unexploited security holes in QuickTime and WinZip, security firm Symantec warned on Thursday.

The attacks involve malicious Web sites rigged with multiple exploits, Symantec said in a security alert. The sites appear to be that of a trusted financial institution, but instead attempt to silently install keystroke-logging software, according to Symantec. Links to the sites are likely advertised in spam, it said.
