Download Direct X-11 From The Web.......	Permalink

If you run across it on the web and it isn't directly from Microsoft. don't download it!! If 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. Don't download it from the web... __________________ http://www.mycomputerplayground.com http://www.digitaldrama.net http://www.thisrules.net

It's funny that "Heads Up" can also be a negative term! Alan -- Edited by NicKnayme at 12:34, 2009-03-10 __________________ Where's the money, Lebowski?
