CERT has released an advisory about Apple Quicktime prior to version 7.3:

The Quicktime engine may be used to playback some content in Media Center. If you have Quicktime installed, I recommend upgrading to 7.3:

And, if you do, I'd strongly recommend following the installation instructions at Codec Guide so you have a less annoying install.

Oh, my gosh! I installed for the first time iTunes last Sunday to solve a problem with my Nano... and Quicktime got installed too

Quicktime is a required component for iTunes.

Ah, I see. Know what? I survived 18 months using 2 iPods with MC and never having to install iTunes in the process.... but finally I had to.

Thanks, Glynor.
