| Apple's Quicktime Plug-In for your browser. it allows you to quickly view .MOV movies from inside of a web page. It is a component of the Quicktime Player Package.

| Annoying and hard to disable permanantly.

|
| U get it going on websites & looking 4 videos
| Fuego
|
| This is NOT the browser plug-in, and it is NOT required to play Quicktime files at all! It's basically a shortcut that takes two megs of ram. Remove it!.

| My system was hanging 5-10 seconds after startup every time. Removing qttask.exe in startup which fixed the problem.
| Harald
|
| I know suddenly it appeared in my systray, and I don't have QT installed. Had to use the syscomfig to disable startup, and edit registry to remove the freaking thing
| TimMac
|
| Extremely annoying. Windows 98 will not shut down when this is running. Hangs. Keeps reappearing after removal from msconfig startup.

|
| Part of Quicktime. Annoying, but not harmful.

| Piece of shit application - memory hogger, always adds itself to the 'Run' section of the registry. Unecessary.
| Prebba
|
| HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run and delete the entry. Also delete the folder at
| Ian Wilkinson
|
| You can prevent it from starting with msconfig. Go to Run... type msconfig & under startup uncheck qttask. on next restart and prompting, tell msconfig NOT to come up after reboot.

| Beeinflusst die Grafik-und Soundfähigkieten besonders und stört unheimlich. Das Abspielen von Videos, Lieder oder Fotos ist nicht möglich!

|
| Annoyin. Deleted the .exe from program directory, then out of reg. All better!
| lumen8r
|
| Installed with Quicktime web browser plug-in. Not dangerous. Consumes 1 Mo of RAM. To prevent it running, remove registry key "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\Quicktime Task".

| Quicktime icon sits in your system tray. Remove by right clicking it, select QuickTime Preferences and then untick QuickTime system tray icon
| Martin
|
| totally unnecessary... get it's startup off your registry...
| EclipsE
|
| It caused my Internet Explorer to crash on a constant basis.
| Jake
|
| (Registry Info for XP:) In "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run" you'll find "quicktime task" with the value "c:\programfiler\quicktime\qttask.exe -atboottime". Remove it to avoid the file from loading on boot.

| If you dont want this process to startup every time u start windows, go to the location of the .exe, right click, click on security tab and deny the permissions. When you want to play any Quick time application, u can allow permissions the same way. I tried everything to remove it from my startup..but in vain. Finally disabled permissions and it worked!!

| Crappy buggy piece of softtware, unfortunatelly installed with quicktime. the program eats more than 2 MB of RAM and it does nothing useful other than send information to apple.com about the movies you are watching. The information is stored in a small log file in your computer and sent in bursts to apple.com in an encripted format.

| non dangereux, c'est Quicktime

| Not virus or spyware actually, but still Very annoying on most OS's. Remove it !

|
| It's the tray icon of Apple's Quick Time. I advice to disable it because it's just a drainage of memory
| Black Dragon
|
| It suddenly appeared after I got cable, and everytime my 'puter is messed up, getting rid of QT fixes it.

|
| Keeps locking up my computer!
| Rob D
|
 | It is one of the many progams that appear when I click Ctrl+Alt+Del and is keeping me from defragmenting my disk drive
| PattiB
|
| it's 100% useless - all features of quicktime work without it. completely not needed, to get rid of it block it from starting (DON"T delete, just disable, otherwise it will be recreated when you run quicktime) up using Spybot. also close it after you run quicktime, usually it pops up and stays, wastes cpu and ram and has no purpose. or you can just block the process from ever running (go to Administrative tools on start menu, then to Local Security settings-- software restric. policies-- add. rules, action- new hash rule, browse for file and it will never run again).

| Erase The Icon on task bar, then go to the IE and delete
| vandutch
|
| Apple QuickTime file that thinks its doing you a favor by auto-starting with your PC (common now with almost every program) cept this stupid thing keeps returning even when removed from registry & file is deleted. seems when QT is run, the program checks changes & deletion, & undoes whatever you did to remove it. VERY ANNOYING & resource hogging, but not dangerous.

|
| its quick time plugin for IE but unnecessraily adds in the startup,can be removed by deleting HKLM\Software\Microsoft\windows\current version\run

| Quicktime is essential if you watch any video online, mostly. Also if you have iTunes, you need it. Don't delete!
| anonymous
|
| It attempts to take over your media file extentions. careful while installing it to not let it do this... and its from Crapple

| Quicktime taskbar - to remove, right click on it, select quicktime preferences, go to "Browser plugin", in that there is an option "QT taskbar", remove that.

| I could not open preferencec while in Systems. It would not let me remove. I renamed in "a pain". I was then able to remove from systems. Silly but worked. I received it on my computer going to the War of the Worlds site, and immediately got it without even watching a trailer.

| qttask.exe produced by Apple, installs a tray bar icon which links to the Apple QuickTime video streaming tool. This program is a non-essential system process, and is installed for ease of use.

| Part of QuickTime; looks for disks in all drives on startup and reports error (wrongly) if a disk isn't found.
