If you download your version of DirectX from Microsoft, it will not contain a virus. Downloading from untrusted third-party sites may or may not be safe.

How do you uninstall directx 10?

Uninstalling DirectX 10 from Vista is impossible to my knowledge. Uninstalling the non-official DirectX 10 from XP is not. To so do, you'll need a computer that has whatever version you want to switch to, an uninstaller for 9.0 called UnDx9.bat, and an XP installation disc. Copy all the DirectX files listed by dxdiag from a computer with an earlier installed. 9.0c is confirmed to work. Override all DirectX files while in safe mode. Run a 9.0 uninstaller that replaces all your DirectX files from the Windows CD. It should replace your files with 8.1. Then replace the 8.1 files with the files copied from the other computer. Find the version number of DirectX for those files and find the registry values that the uninstaller adds to the registry. They should be in dxvfix.ini. Change the value for the version to whatever the version you're adding is. 4.09.0000.0904 is the number for 9.0c. Then run the latest updater for DirectX 9.0c and it should update some files. This should leave you with 9.0c.

The pixelshader levels are built into DirectX. If you have the newest version of DirectX and still can't use PixelShader 1.1, then this means that your video card does not support it, and you will need to upgrade your video card. There is no other way around this.

How do you get DirectX 10 for Windows 7?

DirectX 9.0c is not available for Windows 7; to actually install DirectX 9.0c, you would have to downgrade to Windows XP (any edition). In order to play games which require DirectX 9.0c without downgrading your installation of Windows, you must upgrade to DirectX 10.1 or later. DirectX 10.0 (initially included in Windows 7) did not include support for DirectX 9.0c, a decision that Microsoft ultimately repealed when DirectX 10.1 was released.

What features does DirectX have?

it is difficult to give a precise answer in a couple of words: the directx libraries are huge. However, the idea is that these libraries expose an api (a set of instructions) that allow game programmers to easily develop software. For example they don't have to deal with the particular aspects of each video card: that is done by directX and by the drivers. What kind of functionality directX expose: for ex. you have an image and you need to move it. Passing appropriate parameters, directX will do that for you. Also there are implementations for sound, etc. This is what one can do with directX. It is the bread and butter for game programmers that target Microsoft platforms. Make no mistake though: you don't get to do something till you spend some time studying.
