Quicktime vulnerability
Today I googled for QT’s latest version for my new Avid install, and I found this warning:

What I wonder is if Avid is aware of this problem and is looking for a way to circumvent it.
Advice?

Avid is aware. This news is 6 months old. The solution is to install QT, because it’s needed for many things, BUT NOT THE PLAYER. The player is where the vulnerability is.

We also suggest not installing the optional web components in the install options.

Can you select not to install the player and the web components?
I use Windows Defender and Spybot SD for AV and malware, respectively.
