Jessica Biel 'the most dangerous celebrity to search for'

2009-08-26

Brad Pitt is no longer the most dangerous celebrity to search for on the internet - Jessica Biel is.

According to McAfee, people searching for terms including 'Jessica Biel downloads', 'Jessica Biel videos' and 'Jessica Biel photos' have a one in five chance of landing on a site that has tested positive for online threats.

Such threats can include spam, phishing, viruses and other malware.

McAfee revealed that searches for Barack or Michelle Obama did not pose as much of a threat as other celebrity names such as Beyonce, who was the second most dangerous name for the second year in a row.

Older stars such as Jessica Alba who were on last year's list have now made way for young Hollywood celebrities such as Miley Cyrus and Ashley Tisdale.

Symantec recently released a list of its Dirtiest Web Sites of Summer 2009, 48 per cent of which were found to have contained adult material.
