If you have recently gotten this unwanted piece of software in your Mac, then be sure to stay on this page, where we will tell you about its abilities, the potential hazards it may expose your system to, and the way you could remove it from the computer.

The first thing you must know about this browser hijacker is that its primary goal is to get you to visit the sites of its partners and to click on the ads it displays in Chrome, Firefox, Safari (or any other browser you could use on a Mac machine) by replacing the browser’s search engine and by changing the address of the starting page. Both of those activities generate advertising revenue for the developers of this hijacker and it is because of this that Zeus Virus is programmed to be so aggressive with its ad-generation and page-redirection. In many cases, browser hijackers like this one are presented to the users as useful extensions for their browsers. However, upon closer look, it quickly becomes apparent that there’s little to nothing useful about them. Even in rare cases where a hijacker does indeed come with some helpful function, this function could hardly compensate for all the unwanted and intrusive activities of the app.

Most users get aggravated by this activity, but the fact that it is irritating to have a hijacker in your Mac is only half the problem. The other half is the fact that there’s a certain chance to get exposed to deceitful sites and ads that try to persuade you into installing more unwanted software in your computer. It is even possible that some of the ads could redirect you to pages with phishing content in them or to ones that contain various forms of highly dangerous malware (such as Trojans, Worms, or Ransomware).
