If you are dealing with a variant of real Zeus virus, you should make sure you do NOT enter any personal information while infected, and hurry to remove the threat from your computer.

The safest and quickest way to get rid of the Zeus Panda virus is explained in the step-by-step guide on this article.
However, if you see a message on your Google Chrome or another browser, that your computer is infected with Zeus virus and a number is provided in order to "fix" it - it is a tech support scam. Cybercriminals behind it are using the name of the well-known banking trojan to scare users and make them call the provided number.
Never contact the fake tech support! All they want is to make you give them remote access to your computer or make you pay for useless software. In the first case, crooks might install malware on your device or steal your passwords. Secondly, they might have to ask you to pay a large sum of money for fake services or a bogus app that they made you install.
