[PSA] Delete QuickTime From Your PC Immediately, Government Advises

Open

Do you still have QuickTime for Windows on your PC? Get rid of it, pronto.

That’s the advice coming from the U.S. Computer Emergency Readiness Team (US-CERT), following a "call to action” by cybersecurity firm Trend Micro. The version of QuickTime on Apple computers is not affected.

While you're at it, get rid of Adobe Flash and Reader also. Disable Java plugins. Run Windows as a limited user. That'll take care of most of your web vulnerabilities right there.

Quick... Time? What's that, a new drug that makes you run faster?
Jokes aside, it's been a while since I last used it, I think I didn't even hit puberty yet (and I'm almost 26 years old now!).
I guess we have to be Quick to get rid of it, before having a bad Time.
Sorry, I think I drank too much coffee today...
