Quick Time is full of adware and spyware as well.
I doubt it.
Such as?
Horse puckey.
QT is a system component, made by Apple Computer.
People can hook up all sorts of stuff to it (such as this MySpace virus), but carrying manure in a bucket doesn't make the bucket bad.
My grandsons 2 graduated from college and 1 in college were here Thanksgiving..I had finally cleaned up this computer, a hand me down from one of them via my son... and had zero on my last scan from Adaware..I had 23 critical items after they left! LOL
There was nothing serious enough for AVG to catch... I had had a Trojan and it took weeks to figure out how to rid myself of it. Lesson learned..Never turn off the popup blocker and forget to turn it back on!
QuickTime is an Apple product. Apple is pure as the driven snow and can do no wrong. </sarcasm>
You're just focusing on the surface. It's TCP/IP and HTTP that are full of adware and spyware.
Adware and Spyware in Quicktime? Really? I have a nifty little bit of sofware called "Little Snitch" that reports when ANY outgoing connection attempts are made. The only ones I have EVER seen from QuickTime is to check for updates from Apple's site.
As far as adds? If I open QuickTime app, then I get a window with options to view movie trailers, and with info on iTunes popular songs. And that actually can easily be turned off in the preferences, which I just did. So I'm not sure what spyware and Adware you are referring to.
