I just upgraded to Norton Internet Security 2008 because of all of the
problems that I was having with Norton and Vista. I have been getting a
message every time I start (even before upgrade) that said color s changed to
windows vista basic because windows running conflicting program. It seams
that Quick Time is the conflict. I tried to uninstall it and the program was
“unvise32qt.exe". I googled it and it seems to be a backdoor or Trojan. I
don’t know what I should do seeing that Norton didn’t pick this up and do I
need Quick Time to run any vital program?
Thanks for any help.

Hello,

* have you really checked this file using Norton? If it didn't find a virus,
just leave the file; it may be important for any software.
* QuickTime is no 'must-have' software. It is replaceable by Windows Media
Player, unless you have some video data that really requires QuickTime.
If you want to, you can look for the latest version here:
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/
* What happened when you tried to uninstall ("the program was..")?

Thanks for info - I have windows media and want to uninstall quicktime.
When I enter on uninstall quicktime the user account control says "an
unidentified program wants access to your computer" the program is
unvise32qt.exe unidentified publisher. do I cancel or allow?? On google it
says this is a backdoor or trojan. Is it safe to use this to uninstall
quicktime.
 
Hello,

if you have checked the file using Norton, it should be save.
Do you uninstall through
Control Panel -> Programs -> Uninstall a program? Or in another way?

I think it is safe if Norton finds no malware.

I want to be sure that I do this right. I don't know how to check one file
with Norton. A full scan was done yesterday and today it did two quick scans
with no probs. Do I need to do anything else before I use unvise32qt.exe to
uninstall quicktime. Thanks for your help - its much needed
 
Hello,

I think you can right-click a file and select "Scan with Norton Internet
Security" (or something). Then, it will process the file.

Thanks so much for your time I appreciate it
I did scan as you said and it was ok. I tried the uninstall and it says a
program or control panel which used quick time appears to be running. It
wont uninstall - I have no programs open. How do I find what is running
with it? Also the program compatiblity assistant comes on that says it prob
didn't install correctly. So I need to reinstall in order to uninstall -
Program is installer VISE unstall application file.
again thanks
 
Hello,

* Make sure that no Apple product is running: Look in your system tray if
there's a QuickTime like icon. Exit it if necessary.
Perhaps this will also be necessary: Right-click your taskbar and select
"Task manager". Go to the tab "Processes" and spot qttask.exe . If you
find it, select it and press "End Process". Click "End Process".
* Now look if QuickTime starts during system startup: Press Windows-key +
R -> msconfig.exe -> Enter . Go to tab "Startup" and unselect any Apple
services. Press OK.
* If there's still a problem with uninstalling, try downloading the (new)
setup file manually from http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/ .
Then, it should replace the (older) file with the (new) version. Then, you
could uninstall the new version and everything should be gone.

I hope this helps. Please write back if you have any difficulty.

Followed all instructions and now quick time and unvise32qt.exe is off
computer.
Thanks for your help, I have learned a lot about Vista and where to find
things on the computer. Thanks again
