The message I received was:
WARNING!
"Your hard drive will be DELETED if you close this page. You have a ZEUS virus! Please call Support Now! Call Toll-Free: 1-844-859-0337 to Stop this process
Are you sure you want to leave this page?
Leave page Stay on page"
I, of course did not stay on the page nor did I call the "support" 800#. I started task manager and stopped the process. I ran a Webroot scan successfully. I also ran a Webroot scan on the ONLY file I had downloaded (PDF for a Crosman air rifle manual). My question is,how should I address this if/when it shows up again. Thank you any and all
Solved
I had a message come up on my laptop this afternoon telling me a had a Zeus virus
