The Quicktime player or Quicktime Pro? Because the only reference I see to Win32.TrojanSpyBanker Vista or Windows 7 showing up on vista is in a keygen for Quicktime Pro.
Trojans don't come out of thin air, they don't just happen to show up, even in Windows., they have to be installed in some fashion, knowingly or unknowingly (usually the latter).
If you happen to be using warez/cracks, or even software from an untrustworth source and get something nasty, don't blame it on the OS. As with the iWorks warez on OSX, trojans can happen on any system, not just Windows.
