It’s that time of year again.

McAfee’s annual report on the most dangerous celebrities to search for is out. To be succinct, searching for a celebrity can be extremely hazardous to your computer these days.
To quote McAfee:
“Fans searching for “Jessica Biel” or “Jessica Biel downloads,” “Jessica Biel wallpaper,” “Jessica Biel screen savers,” “Jessica Biel photos” and “Jessica Biel videos” have a one in five chance of landing at a Web site that’s tested positive for online threats, such as spyware, adware, spam, phishing, viruses and other malware.”
I was curious about the volume of monthly searches on her so I checked it out via the Google keyword tool and she’s apparently only searched on a little less than two million times a month. Jessica Alba at 5 million and Jessica Simpson at 6 million beat her out in terms of volume, but not in online danger.
Last years most dangerous, Brad Pitt, cooled off and fell to #10. Here’s the full list:
Here’s the full top ten, according to McAfee’s study:
- Jessica Biel
- Beyoncé
- Jennifer Aniston
- Tom Brady
- Jessica Simpson
- Gisele Bundchen
- Miley Cyrus
- Megan Fox & Angelina Jolie (tie)
- Ashley Tisdale
- Brad Pitt
If you’re curious, like me, about the most dangerous search terms overall, here’s the PDF report from McAfee on that. Enjoy.
