Download Microsoft DirectX 11 For Windows XP And Vista !

DirectX 11 LogoIf you follow technology news you should have got surprised reading the article title because there is no official DirectX 11 for Windows XP or Vista as of now, Microsoft DirectX 11 (6.01.7000.0000) will be made available on Windows 7 and Windows Vista when officially released in coming months, but virus creators have hoped onto the opportunity and started taking advantage of gamers curiosity to install the latest version of DirectX by posting fake trojan infected DirectX 11 links on blogs and forums, these so called DirectX 11 For Windows XP and Vista installer contained Trojans created in perl scripts which got detected by only three lesser known anti-virus scanners on VirusTotal out of total 39.

As soon as you launch the installer the Trojan gets extracted and executes trying connecting to internet.

If you have already fell for this trap then your computer might be infected with "W32.Gaobot" Trojan and you should immediately run this removal tool from Symantec to get rid of.

While on my quest to get information on DirectX 11, I found another installer package claiming to be DirectX 11 for Windows XP and Vista, this one looked pretty genuine and I installed in on a test machine setup.

DirectX 11

Surprisingly, this setup did installed new DirectX dll files in c:\windows\system32\ directory but DirectX Diagnostic Tool (DxDiag.exe) did not detected anything new as shown below.

These new files could be Direct3D 11 Technical Preview DLL's from the SDK unveiled at the Gamefest 2008 event in Seattle, but until this is further confirmed I suggest everybody stays away from these so called fake DirectX 11 installers, If you are on Windows XP you can install tried and tested unofficial DirectX 10 for Windows XP shared earlier.

Deceitful subject?

Your subject is very deceitful. Are you trying to tell people to "download dx11 for xp and vista" or should it be fake dx11?

Lame... just lame.

Thanks!!!

people who create the virus are the same people who created the ant-ivirus, they need too many INFECTED computers to buy their antivirus products. Thanks for this tutorial its very helpful

bless america

Money scheme

You people come on wake up, how would AntiVirus and Spyware removers stay in business? LOL!!

I am serious, I don't make these, and I don't work for any company like this. But majority are done for business, and the few are idiots who get a laugh from it. I would rather it come from the laughing side to be honest. But either way the businesses stay needed. They become a yearly subscription, why? The prices are expensive.

For help get Avira or Kaspersky. Get Avira free if you have no money (ony chose one of them)Also get spyware terminator, superantispyware and spyware blaster (get all of these) and get them from the legit web site.

Hope this helps!

Microsoft pulled such a screw job on WinXP users, they expected us to use a faulty OS(Vista) for gaming and wont release any current DirectX on XP, but thankfully someone is watching out for us users.

dxdiag version number

"Surprisingly, this setup did installed new DirectX dll files in c:\windows\system32\ directory but DirectX Diagnostic Tool (DxDiag.exe) did not detected anything new as shown below."
You want it to change in dxdiag I can do that just open regedit and change {HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\DirectX\Version} to what ever you want to be in dxdiag.

thanks

thanks

gooooooooooooooooooooood

lol,dun be stupid liao..i

lol,dun be stupid liao..i heard some body say that directX11 jz can install in window 7

Give people a reward, & they will do anything to get it!

We see this now, not just in viruses, but in the ways that business handle situations between the poor & the rich.

The rich care only about getting richer, while the poor struggle to survive. Microsoft, the RIAA, Sony, Metallica, & several other greedy companies routinely sue their own customers who use Napster, or other file sharing services in order that they may make $$$ off each song you use, each time you play it.

It is not based on morality or what is right & wrong, but rather on whether they are sitting in their armchair making $$$ off you. Many times, you are working much harder than they, for lots less, but they still complain.

It is still possible to use Napster to share, if you know what you are doing. Sharing is not stealing, sharing is not a crime. Stealing is a crime, but sharing never has been stealing.

It is all a facade by Microsoft & the entertainment industries to try to pocket your $$$ whether they are in the right or in the wrong.

They do not care if you go to jail, they bankrupt you, or you roll over & die so long as they get your $$$.

thanks

thank u man. u are a perfect man and nice and good and best person in the world!!!

Thank you

Thanks for the info, friend. I just don`t begin to install this so called "directx 11 for XP". Everyone wants better preformence in games, and have hope that some "realy cool programmers" can adopt new DX to good old XP. Unfortunatelly, some bad a**es use that situation to send viruses and other sh*t.
(sorry for bad English)
