My encounter with the Zeus virus, and its definition

Today, my encounter with the Zeus virus was a crazy one. The virus started when Mozilla Firefox did not open up to rotten tomatoes website, on my laptop. Instead, there was a voice on my computer talking about someone stealing my banking information, through my Facebook account and my yahoo or gmail account. The Zeus virus is a Trojan horse malware that runs on MS Windows. The Zeus virus is used to steal banking information by logging keystrokes, that a person does inside their web browser. The Zeus virus is spread through phishing schemes. If you have Norton Anti Virus software, then the Zeus virus can be removed and detected. The Zeus Virus is one of the ten most destructive computer viruses of 2017, as G. Ripley found Infoworld.com had cited this information. The virus was discovered in 2009, and it is not retiring anytime soon. The virus was first discovered for performing criminal tasks, and it has infected computers in many diverse ways. In late 2010, the creator of the Zeus virus announced his retirement but not so fast. In recent months, the virus is still infecting computers like yours truly. If a computer has the virus, it is not the end of the world. The way to fix the computer was to uninstall Mozilla Firefox, and to turn off the computer. Then, you can reinstall Mozilla Firefox through another web browser. Test the Mozilla Firefox by going to basic websites like usatoday, and CNN.com. If you don't have the message coming out of your computer mysteriously, then the Zeus virus Trojan horse may be removed. Hackers from Russia and the Ukraine had controlled the Zeus virus back in 2011. Finally, there may be a time where the web browser does not have any indication or traces of the malware. In the end, everyone should realize that if your computer has a virus or Trojan malware then the computer can be recovered without any problems. One should install Windows Defender, McAfee Internet Security software, Norton Antivirus, or avast antivirus to remove and detect computer viruses. At the end of the day, a good computer is one that does not have any computer viruses that can infect the computer.
