"You have a ZEUS virus" is a fake error message displayed by a rogue website. It is very similar to Hacking Alert, Cyber Security Warning, Hard Disk Failure, and a number of other fake error messages. Users are redirected to this site by a number of potentially unwanted adware-type programs (PUPs). These programs infiltrate the system during installation of regular apps. Following infiltration, adware-type apps deliver intrusive online advertisements, monitor users' web browsing activity and, in this case, cause unwanted browser redirects.
This fake pop-up error states that the system is infected with ZEUS malware and that closing the website will result in deletion of the hard drive. To prevent this situation and remove the malware, victims must contact a certified technician via a toll-free telephone number provided (+1-884-859-0337). Victims will then supposedly receive help in solving the issue. This error is a fraud. The infection does not exist - cyber criminals (developers of the rogue site) attempt to trick victims into calling and paying for services that are not needed. As well as causing unwanted redirects, adware displays intrusive online advertisements (for example, banners, pop-ups, coupons, etc.). To do this, it uses a 'virtual layer' - a tool that enables placement of third party graphical content on any site. Therefore, displayed advertisements often conceal underlying content of visited websites, thereby significantly diminishing the web browsing experience. Furthermore, these ads might lead to malicious websites - clicking them can result in high-risk computer infections. Adware also records geo-locations, websites visited, pages viewed, search queries entered into search engines, Internet Protocol (IP) addresses, Internet service providers (ISP), and a number of other similar data types that might contain private details. The data is shared with third parties (potentially, cyber criminals) who commonly misuse private details to generate revenue. This situation might cause serious privacy issues. You are strongly advised to uninstall adware-type applications immediately.
