...for your computer! I'm sure you know that your computer can be hit with viruses, at any time for millions of reasons, even when you're on your best behavior. Unfortunately, even when you're googling your favorite celebrity, things can get a bit ugly.
According to the video below by socialnomics.net, porn was taking over by social media in 2009 as the number 1 activity on the web. So it should be no surprise that McAfee's list of the top 10 most dangerous celebrities, is mostly women.
McAfee released a list of the "Most dangerous celebrities to search for online". The list was surprisingly diverse with Diaz holding the number one spot. Research showed that searching for Diaz ended up with 19 percent of websites were classified as "containing malicious downloads" In other words...VIRUS CITY!
Surprisingly, at least to me, the list was dominated by ladies! Out of the top 10 celebrites, 8 of them were women! I'm not sure if that's a good or bad thing. The only 2 guys included in the list were Hollywood "bad boys" Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise. (I'm not surprised by that!)
- Cameron Diaz
- Julia Roberts
- Jessica Biel
- Giselle Bundchen
- Brad Pitt
- Adriana Lima
- Jennifer Love Hewitt and Nicole Kidman
- Tom Cruise
- Heidi Klum and Penelope Cruz
- Anna Paquin
So be careful next time you are looking for information on your favorite celebrities next move- be a little more discerning or your computer will pay the price.
