I realize this is an old post but many people seem to not understand that even by 
disabling qttask via QuickTime it still runs in the back ground for a bit at boot 
time or rather "-atboottime" as the switch is.

Here is how to get rid of it all together (requires regedit):

1) back up your registry before attempting this.
2) browse to HKey_Local_Machine\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
3) find the entry for qttask and delete it
4) exit regedit and reboot
