And if you don't want to uninstall it, remove it from your autorun/startup programs.

I've had problems over the years with QuickTime for Windows (and *.MOV) generally, When I get an *.MOV file, I usually convert it right away. As far as it goes you don't need QuickTime for Windows anyhow, Just use VLC. It can handle just about any format.
