Best way to build an internet application?

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?

Yea first find out what you mean with "Run over the Internet". Alone those 5
words can have 1000000 meanings, with a multiple of security riscs.

By "run over the internet", I mean that the user does not need to have
any files locally (i.e. does not need to install the application on
their local machine), but can simply login to the application over the
internet, using a common browser (the application requires the user to
log in first), and then be able to access the various screens via menus
etc on the browser.

Technically, I want to replace the presentation layer (currently MFC
etc), with HTML pages.

Then you need a web app. Most possible you will have to rewrite your entire
app though.
Otherwise you will have to do a lot of interop calls.
