Waiting until the remote code execution security hole is plugged would seem to be a sensible thing: "The Apple Security Team reports that there are multiple vulnerabilities within QuickTime (one of the plugins for win32-codecs). A remote attacker capable of creating a malicious SGI image, FlashPix, FLC movie, or a QuickTime movie can possibly lead to execution of arbitrary code or cause a Denial of Service (application crash). Users who have QuickTime (/win32-codecs) as a browser plugin may be vulnerable to remote code execution by visiting a website containing a malicious SGI image, FlashPix, FLC movie or a QuickTime movie." -- Juha http://www.geekzone.co.nz/juha
