Greetings,

The first one i would use would be "Internet Explorer" There are so many bugs and work around holes.. I think it is worst then Outlook, Or Outlook express.

That's my No. 1.

Well, I wasn't concerned with feature or useability bugs, only security ones, so I don't agree. If your IE is fully patched and configured it's not that bad. (though I personally use Mozilla instead because of the nice features).
