Windows Users Should Uninstall Quicktime

The US government has issued an urgent alert to windows customers.

The homeland security department is telling windows users to uninstall Apple’s Quick-Time program.

Quick-Time is the video and audio software that at one time was widely used to play movie trailers and other internet media clips.

It’s largely been replaced by media platforms including YouTube, Facebook and Netflix.

Apple’s last Quick-Time update came in late January.

But apple decided this week not to issue any more security updates for Quick-Time on windows.

The software still works but without support, it could increase the risks from viruses and other security threats.
