Windows 11 is the first upgrade for the popular operating system Windows 10 after six years.
Microsoft he had once mentioned that the latest version of Windows was Windows 10, so the new release was a welcome surprise for the company's friends.
If you plan to install Windows 11, you should make sure that you download the installation files from official sources. This is because, those who use pirated copies of Windows 11 download malware along with it, according to Kaspersky.
Windows 11 Create ISO from Microsoft servers
This particular file is called 86307_windows 11 build 21996.1 x64 + activator.exe.
The name indicates that it contains Windows 11 in build 21996.1, along with an installer that will automatically activate Windows for you. But if you look above you'll at least see a red flag: This particular file is only 1,75 GB, while an actual Windows 11 ISO is around 4,87 GB.
The 1,75 GB file looks normal. But most of this space consists of a DLL file that contains a lot of junk information.
Kaspersky even reports that it contains a malicious application called "download manager for 86307_windows 11 build 21996.1 x64 + activator". If you run the application and accept the box that opens, it will start downloading and installing a bunch of malware on your computer.
