Information about QuickTime

QuickTime is a type of software which people use in order to view and play images, sound and digital video. Developed by Apple, it is classed as an extensible multimedia framework. It allows the playback of quicktime movies (.mov) and many other formats (such as .avi, .wmv or .mkv). QuickTime Player is an excellent movie viewer application that uses the latest streaming technology to access instant content on the web.

Online video will be automatically adjusted to make the best use of available bandwidth and should you suffer a dropped connection, you can just pick up from where you left off. QuickTime prides itself on being easy to use, and no configuration is needed to get started. That said, controls are available to adjust the speed of playback and well as audio settings.

Useful as it is, Windows users are alerted to uninstall Apple's QuickTime player from their computers, due to vulnerabilities in the software. The two new vulnerabilities are heap-corruption-based remote code execution vulnerabilities, which essentially means that an attacker could gain access to a user’s computer by tricking them in to downloading a file from the web.
