Are open-source projects more or less secure than proprietary ones?

It depends on the program, being open source will generally allow exploits and buggs to be exposed and fixed faster.

    I agree. It doesn't always mean that someone is auditing the code, but i like having the option to. Another issue is when proprietary software is built stacked on open source, and a bug is found in the opensource code. The open project seems to get updated, but the proprietary stays vulnerable.
