Some common social engineering techniques used to trick users into installing malware include phishing emails that appear to be from a legitimate source, such as a bank or a popular website, requesting sensitive information or instructing the user to download a malicious attachment. Another technique is through fake software updates or pop-up advertisements that prompt users to download or install malware disguised as legitimate software. Additionally, attackers may also impersonate technical support personnel and convince users to install malware under the guise of fixing a computer issue.
