Hello, I signed on to this forum to get an answer about something that's just popped up on my home computer, which currently runs OSX 10.7.5 (we're planning to upgrade soon).
I share this computer with my partner. He usually uses Safari as a browser on his "side". Today he got a frozen screen and a message about something called the Zeus virus, referring to MicroSoft.
The thing is, we don't have anything from MicroSoft installed and never have had. Everything I've read about Zeus seems to refer to it being a MicroSoft problem. He hasn't clicked on any bad links that he knows of, and when he switches over to Opera there are no problems, and I haven't had any problems since restarting and logging into my side.
Is this a scam? There is a 1-800 number listed on the virus message. I'm going to assume it's a scam until proven otherwise.
