Can the Zeus virus infect apple and android phones and tablets?

I got an email saying there’s a really good chance one of the devices behind my wi if was infected with the Zues virus or Trojan. I ran Norton on my PC and it seems OKAY. The only other devices would be iPhones or android. The email seems legitimate. Any advice would be appreciated.

    Zeus's father ate all of Zeus's siblings but not him because his mother replaced him with a rock. Zeus's father didn't know this for a long time, so the virus can be quite hard to get rid of! It can affect anything! I recommend Sudocrem!!!

    Unless the code for the zeus was written specifically to run on an iPhone IOS, tablet IOS or android, no.

    Never trust an email from someone you don't know!

    These days the email itself is the Trojan because with the new type of malware that exists these days you only have to open the email to get your device infected with who-knows-what. Hackers will send you an e-mail and while you're sitting there reading it you're getting hacked buy new malware that your antivirus doesn't know exist yet.

    This is one of the reasons why so many people are getting infected these days with spyware and stuff that steals your identification, or hacks your bank account etc etc because people are still under the assumption that they can safely open an email and if they don't click on the link nothing will happen those days are gone years ago.

    It's called drive by email attack. Stop opening emails that you don't know where they came from.

    One other thing to Ponder is that there now exists cross-platform malware so you can get malware in your Windows device and transfer it to an Apple device or Android

    Apple devices (iOS and macOS) get no "viruses". Only adware, always installed mostly unknowingly by careless users.
