The anticipation around Windows 11 is palpable, and so is the risk. Cybercriminals have floated several malware-riddled fake installers in the guise of Windows 11, warned cybersecurity firm Kaspersky, targeting unsuspecting users. The company said it has detected several hundred such infection attempts related to fake Windows 11 installer. To avoid such misadventures, it is recommended that users download Windows 11 from official sources only, as Microsoft advises. So far, Windows 11 is officially available only to participants in the Windows Insider program, which requires registration.
