The point in being your own bank, is to take control of your own finances, and that means, you are your rights. you are your protection. Do not send money to anyone you're unsure of. Do not engage in shady business dealings for cheap merchandise or illegal merchandise. Bitcoin uses the blockchain to protect you, but only as a source of confirmation. If this was indeed the work of a trojan and you did not send these transactions on your own free will, then let this be a lesson not to store your funds on an exchange. Store them in a wallet like breadwallet or electrum. OR even in cold storage. you can also use escrow services when sending money, such as bitsquare, or localbitcoins. You are the only authority over your coins, that's the way bitcoin was intended to be, if you don't like that, go back to using paypal and banks, bitcoin isn't for you. I know this wasn't the answer you were looking for, but anyone using bitcoin needs to know that they alone are responsible for their security, and just like cash, if you protect it properly, you won't have any problems.
