Windows users, say goodbye to Apple’s QuickTime
To all Windows users with Apple’s QuickTime installed, it’s time to let go of the dream and uninstall that piece of software.
In an article on The Wall Street Journal, Apple confirmed to the publication that it will no longer be supporting QuickTime 7 for Windows.
This announcement comes after security firm Trend Micro confirmed a security exploit within the software, but had yet to find any evidence of its use. There has yet to be a fix from Apple.
According to Trend Micro spokesperson Christopher Budd, Apple confirmed they were not going to fix the exploit and that the software wasn’t a priority. “Deprecating’ was the exact word that Apple used for what’s going on with QuickTime,” says Budd.
In 2013, Apple stopped offering tool to third-party developers for QuickTime on Windows, as well as killing off browser plugins for it this last January.
Those wanting to uninstall the software can follow these instructions on Apple’s website.
The software is still available for download from the company’s website.
