Even diehard Mac users are increasingly frustrated with the bloated mess that is Apple’s iTunes. If ever a piece of software needed a total rewrite, it’s iTunes.

The Windows version of iTunes is even worse. My own early evaluation left me wondering whether Apple had intentionally made the software buggy and unstable, as a ploy to get people to ditch their PCs in favour of Macs. Suffice to say that I haven’t let it anywhere near any of my PCs since then.

Now, security researchers have discovered that iTunes for Windows includes ancient software libraries that contain numerous security vulnerabilities.

Recommendation: do not use iTunes on any Windows PC. Doing so is just asking for trouble.
