    Apple has stopped support for Quicktime on Windows.  Quicktime was a video and media player with some creation capabilities. 

     

    If you don't use it and don't know what it is, You can remove it. Though some videos on the web make us of it for playback.  Not many any more but still some.

     

    Beyond that, the security issues with Quicktime that will now not be fixed may not affect you at all.
