Zeus on a Mac?

Looks like its PC only, but that wouldn't stop a browser popup? Did you click on the Ad for what you knew to be malware?

Can you point to any references to the Mac OS or iOS variant?

I received the same pop-up this morning from Cox, on a Windows machine. I have scanned the Windows machine with 7 different tools and none of them are reporting any positives for the Zeus trojan.

Meanwhile I've been searching for info on any Mac or iOS variant and I have not been able to find any confirmation that it exists. None of my iOS devices are jailbroken, either.

Thanks,

I have not been able to find any credible claim that Zeus can infect a Mac or iOS.  On the contrary,if you check out US-Cert (https://www.us-cert.gov/ncas/alerts/TA14-150A) it lists only various Windows OS.  I have parallels on my Mac and occasionally run Windows 7.  My virus scans do not find anything. I even downloaded the free McAfee antivirus from Cox, still negative.

I think Cox is wrong about this.  I'm also a little annoyed at a browser popup (once on my iPad).  Seems a little unprofessional.  And the link to the Cox web site goes to a non-existent page.  People have been complaining about that issue for months with no response from Cox.  It's too bad because ISPs could be a valuable resource for stopping botnets and other malware.

Unfortunately I can't,   The popup in my browser is long gone and I got a web page saying the link didn't exist.  I don't know if it was a redirect or not.  There was another question about Zeus that also complained about the non-existent link :  http://forums.cox.com/forum_home/internet_forum/f/5/t/6836.aspx  

So what should I do?  What was it that led Cox to popup a window on Safari to warn me of this problem?

Is it any one of these pop-ups? Also, have you tried calling Network Security, AKA Abuse@cox.net?
