There’s at least four different reasons this nonsense wouldn’t affect me, LOL. (I don’t use Facebook, don’t want Windows 11, don’t see ads because they’re blocked, and can’t run Windows malware because Linux.)

The malicious domains will also try to accept only real PC users. If it detects an internet visit coming from a bot or an automated check from a security researcher, the domains will redirect the traffic to Google.com. “If you pass the checks, the site downloads a file named ms-update32.exe. At 75MB, it feels like a legitimate Windows installer,” Malwarebytes says.
They are getting more sophisticated. So it’s a copy of licences and installer. Naturally, the only legitimate means to have that is windows update from the menù, but if you didn’t know…

I imagine a good number of people will fall for this. Tech illiteracy is the norm.
