We can ensure that your computer is not infected with a Zeus Trojan. The pop-up you received is a scam that is designed to trick users into calling a fake support line and purchasing useless programs. Therefore, cyber criminals want to get either £90 or your credit card details, which may lead to money loss.
In order to get rid of the "You Have A ZEUS Virus" Tech support scam, you have to use a reputable malware removal software and run a full system scan. Additionally, you should reset each of the web browsers installed on your PC. These pop-ups might be triggered by an adware program that might have arrived on the system in the form of browser add-on and altered browser’s settings.Additionally, you can follow manual removal guide presented in this article.
However, you should never trust pop-ups that alert about detected viruses or inform about other security issues. What is more, calling unknown support services is never recommended as well. Before doing that, you should always look up for the information about the number online. In most cases, you will find out that the number belongs to criminals.
