Apple Releases Important Quicktime Update

Apple today patched a critical security hole that would allow a hacker to use Quicktime and a rogue website to gain access to Macintosh and Windows computers. The text from the update is quoted below:

QuickTime 7.1.6 delivers numerous bug fixes, addresses a critical security issue with QuickTime for Java and includes support for:

- Final Cut Studio 2
- Timecode and closed captioning display in QuickTime Player

This update is recommended for all QuickTime 7 users.

Important Notice to QuickTime Pro Users
QuickTime 7 will disable the QuickTime Pro functionality in prior versions of QuickTime, such as QuickTime 5 or QuickTime 6. If you proceed with this installation, you must purchase a new QuickTime 7 Pro key to regain QuickTime Pro functionality. After installation, visit www.apple.com/quicktime to purchase a QuickTime 7 Pro key.
