Alert: QuickTime for Windows

Apple has discontinued support-including security fixes- for the Windows version of QuickTime. There are already two known exploits for this software, both of which allow a malicious website or video file to run arbitrary code in order to steal passwords and/or embed malware on a computer running QuickTime. GHC ITS recommends uninstalling QuickTime on your personal computer(s) running Windows in order to protect yourself online. More information and uninstall instructions are available from Trend Micro’s Security blog:
