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
