Searching For Jessica Biel May Be Dangerous To Computer’s Health

Danger, thy name is Jessica Biel!

No, we’re not turning Search Engine Land into a celebrity gossip blog … we’re talking about the risks of searching online for certain celebrities. And, according to a McAfee report issued today, Jessica Biel is the most dangerous celebrity on the web, passing last year’s master of search disaster, Brad Pitt.



McAfee explains the risks involved in being a search engine-using fan of Jessica Biel:

“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.”

Here’s the full top ten, according to McAfee’s study:

1. Jessica Biel
2. Beyoncé
3. Jennifer Aniston
4. Tom Brady
5. Jessica Simpson
6. Gisele Bundchen
7. Miley Cyrus
8. Megan Fox & Angelina Jolie (tie)
9. Ashley Tisdale
