CB> here is the list as it currently stands after several days discussion

Just one suggestion to place here a list of "secure" programs to run
instead of these. IMHO it'll be more useful than just saying not to
use.

CB> 1) Microsoft Outlook & Outlook Express

(IMHO this along with ActiveX should be changed to IE engine)
use The Bat! instead

CB> 2) Telnet - when used for remote control

SSH

CB> 3) Sendmail

Qmail & Postfix

CB> 4) IIS Server

Apache

CB> 5) Wireless networking - Unless used with extreme paranoia

nothing

CB> 6) PHP - It seems to make it easy to write insecure code.

nothing or Perl or maybe other ones?

CB> 7) R services (rsh, rcp, rlogin)

SSH

CB> 8) ActiveX - mostly because of what it's used for not the actual protocol.

may use or may not by the choice

CB> 9) BIND

DJBDNS TinyDNS
