US-CERT just released a separate advisory for Apple Quicktime. Even Windows folks use Quicktime. Bad day for Apple.

This is the first time I've seen the Federal Government telling users that they should get a specific program off of their computer ASAP. Apparently, the QUICKTIME software is very dangerous for Windows users to have.

Doesn't Quick Time auto install for people who have Apple Products, even though it's a Windows PC? You remove it, but it comes back in one of the updates for other Apple products.
