Zeus Virus?

[Rocco Rex]

I was browsing Yahoo using Mozilla Firefox as my browser. This is a Windows 8(pretty sure 8.1) laptop that I don't allow Microsoft to update.

Anyway. I was just browsing Yahoo when all of a sudden, without clicking on anything, it changed to a white screen with text. Think I read something about "Zeus Virus" before it changed to a new screen with VERY adult images. By then I had closed the tab. Currently running a Norton virus scan, hasn't detected anything yet.
Anyone know what this is?

Norton is pretty useless tbh, I wouldn't recommend it at all.

Try using the free version of this one for running a scan and see what it says (it's not an antivirus replacement though!)

I have to use Norton. dad decrees that we shall use Norton because he's a dumbass, even though I've shown multiple sources saying Norton is garbage

Ouch, right ..

Well, do try the one I linked and see how that works (it's just a scanner so it won't interfere with norton)

Keep in mind if you're not experiencing any other symptoms and your AV isn't picking anything up you may be fine.

What probably happened is you were redirected to a malicious trojan webpage that informed you that your computer had a virus (even though it didn't) in order to get you to click things (like a proposed Anti virus). Because you clicked on the webpage it would have redirected to a funded adult site or something.

  Point is unless you downloaded something or you're experiencing symptoms outside of your web browser (or your web-browsers default webpage has changed or something) you should be fine, the virus scare was just the attackers trying to trick you.
