The U.S. Computer Emergency Readiness Team has released a notice encouraging Windows users to uninstall Apple QuickTime if they have it installed in their machines. Apple has stopped supporting this product.

It is recommended that you uninstall QuickTime from any of your PCs, laptops, or PDAs that are Windows Operating System based.

Per http://zerodayinitiative.com/advisories/ZDI-16-241/:
This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of Apple QuickTime. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file.
