Best way to build an internet application?

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

I have a (3-tier) desktop application that I developed entirely in C++, comprising mostly of Win32 Dlss as well as some ATL COM objects.

I want to "port the application to the internet", so that it can be run over the internet - I'm sure there is more than one way to do this. BUT - can anyone (preferably, someone with experience of doing something like this) recommend what is the best way of doing this (or the way to do this most succesfully/securely).?

Lastly, security is a very big factor, in that the application needst o be secure - (imagine a banking aplication). Can anyone make suggestions/recommendations regarding security?
