Update QuickTime!

Security experts have pointed out that installing bug fixes and updates for Apple's multimedia software is extremely important from a security perspective.

Security experts at eEye Digital Security are asking users running Apple QuickTime and iTunes to install the latest bug fixes as soon as possible, as they pose a serious risk to their systems.

Therefore, eEye experts recommend that administrators upgrade computers running Apple multimedia software.
