Re: How Secure is Windows, Really?

I've gotten so disgusted with both QuickTime and Real Player with their attempts to hijack your PC and the barrage of popups and ads that they generate.
Unfortunately, there still are some sites that will not work with Windows Media Player, so you have to have the other players installed as well. I found something called Real Alternative to replace Real Player and have been pleased with it. I'm going to take your suggestion and install the alternative to QuickTime as well. Thanks!

don't really do anything that uses QT.
