What is 'ZEUS VIRUS DETECTED !!!'?

'ZEUS VIRUS DETECTED !!!' is a fake notification relating to viruses and malicious applications - these are 'detected' by a deceptive website disguised as an official Apple site. In fact, this is a scam website designed to trick people into contacting scammers by calling them on the telephone number provided. We strongly recommend that you ignore this scam and do not call these people. All malware detections mentioned on this web page are fake.

When opened, this scam website displays a number of pop-ups. According to one, MAC OS X is infected with viruses and other malicious applications, and these must be removed and system damage repaired. It is also states that if the website is closed, the operating system will remain damaged and vulnerable. Another pop-up states that the website has detected the ZEUS virus and, additionally, a suspicious trojan was attempting to access logins, banking details, and track Internet browsing activity. It is stated that the firewall installed on the operating system failed to protect the system and that the system was damaged. Visitors are urged to visit the nearest Mac repair service or to call the '+1-877-885-8689' number. Note, this is not an official Apple customer service number and belongs to scammers. If contacted, they attempt to extort money from unsuspecting people. The scammers who designed this deceptive site try to trick people into purchasing unnecessary software or paying for 'online technical support'. Do not take this and other scams seriously. If a browser opens these scams, ignore them.

Scam websites are often opened by browsers that have potentially unwanted apps (PUAs) installed. Typically, people download and install apps of this type unintentionally. When installed, they cause redirects to dubious, deceptive websites, gather user-data and feed people with intrusive advertisements. Generally, unwanted apps of this type record IP addresses, geolocations, URLs of visited websites, entered search queries, etc. In some cases, PUAs target sensitive details. Developers share the information with third parties who misuse it to generate revenue. These third parties include cyber criminals. Another problem with PUAs is that some display deceptive, intrusive ads. When clicked, they open dubious or even malicious sites or execute scripts that cause unwanted downloads/installations. Some examples of ads displayed by PUAs are coupons, banners, surveys, various pop-up ads, etc.

'ZEUS VIRUS DETECTED !!!' is a common scam, which is typical of many websites of this type on the Internet. Some other examples are apple.com-scan-mac[.]live, 'Your Mac is infected with 4 viruses', and 'Mac OS X is infected (4) by viruses'. These pages inform visitors of 'detected' viruses and encourage them to install unwanted apps or contact scammers. If a PUA is installed on a browser or computer, it might be the reason for redirects to deceptive websites such as this. Furthermore, PUAs can cause problems relating to browsing safety, privacy, or even identity theft. We strongly recommend that you remove all unwanted apps immediately.

How did potentially unwanted applications install on my computer?

Unwanted apps (PUAs) are often downloaded/installed when people click ads that should not be trusted or when they download/install software that has unwanted app(s) bundled into the setup. By bundling apps into set-ups, developers attempt to trick users into downloading/installing unwanted apps with regular software. Information about the inclusion of PUAs in set-ups is usually hidden in 'Custom/Advanced' settings (or other similar parts). In summary, unwanted downloads and installations happen when people fail to check and change any the aforementioned settings, which effectively gives permission for PUAs to be downloaded or installed.

How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications?

Zbot mac

Third party downloaders, installers, torrent clients, eMule (and other Peer-to-Peer networks) and other such tools/sources should not be trusted to download or install software. The safest way to download programs is to official sites and direct download links. Additionally, all downloads/installations should be handled properly. Check 'Advanced', 'Custom', 'Manual' and other similar options or settings of any setup and dismiss offers to install (or download) unwanted apps. Furthermore, not all ads (especially if they are displayed on dubious sites) should be trusted. If clicked, they often redirect to untrustworthy websites, usually relating to gambling, pornography, adult dating, etc, If intrusive ads or unwanted redirects occur regularly, check for unwanted extensions, add-ons, and plug-ins installed on the default browser and uninstall them. This should also be applied to unwanted programs installed on the computer. If your computer is already infected with PUAs, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for macOS to automatically eliminate them.

Virus Info:
A Trojan horse, or Trojan, in computing is a non-self-replicating type of malware program containing malicious code that, when executed, carries out actions determined by the nature of the Trojan, typically causing loss or theft of data, and possible system harm. The term is derived from the story of the wooden horse used to trick defenders of Troy into taking concealed warriors into their city in ancient Greece, because computer Trojans often employ a form of social engineering, presenting themselves as routine, useful, or interesting in order to persuade victims to install them on their computers.

Zbot For Cs 1.6

A Trojan often acts as a backdoor, contacting a controller which can then have unauthorized access to the affected computer. The Trojan and backdoors are not themselves easily detectable, but if they carry out significant computing or communications activity may cause the computer to run noticeably slowly. Malicious programs are classified as Trojans if they do not attempt to inject themselves into other files (computer virus) or otherwise propagate themselves (worm).

A computer may host a Trojan via a malicious program a user is duped into executing files or browsing internet.
