Microsoft announced Windows 11 earlier this year and this new operating system (OS) is yet to roll out publicly. Cybercriminals have obviously jumped in on the opportunity and there are a bunch of fake Windows 11 installers available online that are giving people malware if they use them. It’s not rocket science but if you want to install Windows 11 you should get it from official sources. Going by the name, the file is supposed to include Windows 11 build 21996.1 along with something else that is supposed to automatically activate Windows for you. This 86307_windows 11 build 21996.1 x64 + activator.exe is just one example of fake installers, and there are more.
