    Apple QuickTime backdoor creates code-execution peril

    Does anyone on Wilders actually use QuickTime?

    Now, granted, I haven't used iTunes in some time. But, I believe that if you have iTunes, and you watch videos that either stream from their service or that you bought on iTunes, Quicktime is the default player. So, a lot of people have it, probably even many here.

    I have it on my computer since I use iTunes. When I uninstalled Quicktime, iTunes refused to open, and I could not reinstall Quicktime separately. So I had to reinstall iTunes. What a hassle.

    No Apple software for me..! I've always used the codec pack instead.
