No. You have no control over the client; you cannot determine what it really
is, only what it says it is. AVG8, for example, can pretend pretty
convincingly to be Internet Explorer.
The only way to be relatively certain is to send a page to the browser that
uses Javascript to check for known bugs or quirks in the browser, and sends
back to you a status report. Of course, a hacker has control over the client,
so could change the Javascript code you send (or run it under a debugger) to
report whatever they wanted... you can never be *certain*.
If you told us what you were trying to do, and what is an acceptable level of
confidence in the result, we might be able to help more.
