Trend says you need to remove Quicktime right now. It has two big security vulnerabilities, and Apple has abandoned it, so no new updates will be released to fix it.

I went to remove it, and was so happy that it turns out I had never installed it on the machine.
It's not me, it's someone else.

Everyone's jumping on this bandwagon, including the feds.

Must be a hell of a security flaw, which is STUNNING because I've always heard how secure and "hacker-proof" Apple products are...
