Apple confirms that it is no longer supporting Quicktime for Windows
http://www.engadget.com/2016/04/18/apple-ends-quicktime-for-windows-support/
Back in the day, a not-insignificant number of Windows users
ended up with Apple's Quicktime software installed on their
computers, thanks in large part to iTunes. It's been a long time
since it's been necessary for either the web or iTunes, though,
and as such the software is pretty out of date -- not to mention
a security threat. Last week, the Department of Homeland
Security recommended Windows users uninstall Quicktime because
of potential security holes, and now Apple is echoing that
advice. The Wall Street Journal reports that Apple has confirmed
it'll no longer update or support Quicktime 7 for Windows.
Details to remove the offending software from your computer can
