McAfee: Cameron Diaz is Most Dangerous Celeb
Cameron Diaz has bumped last year's most dangerous celebrity, Jessica Biel, to number three.
Cameron Diaz might have posted a lethal lap time on Top Gear's 'Star in a Reasonably Priced Car' feature, but it seems this tall drink of water is lethal in other ways too; McAfee has just named her the number one most dangerous celebrity when it comes to malware bait.
We know by now that it's not uncommon for cybercriminals to target star-struck fans looking for pictures, videos and screensavers of their favourite athletes, film starts and musicians. But who's the biggest risk when looking to Google for celebs to oogle? McAfee has released its annual list of the most dangerous celebrities to search for if you're hoping to avoid malware, and top of the list is Cameron Diaz.
Diaz bumped last year's most dangerous celebrity, A-Team leading lady Jessica Biel, off of the top spot, as McAfee discovered that one in ten results for 'Cameron Diaz' leads web users to a risky website. Combine Cameron Diaz with one of McAfee's 'most dangerous search terms' such as "screen saver," and the chance of encountering malicious websites rises by 19 percent.
Also proving risky are Victoria Secret models, as the ladies account for three of the top ten, which is mostly comprised of famous women. The only men who feature on the list are Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise.
Check out the top ten below:
10. Anna Paquin
09. Heidi Klum/Penelope Cruz
08. Tom Cruise
07. Jennifer Love Hewitt / Nicole Kidman
06. Adriana Lima
05. Brad Pitt
04. Gisele Bündchen
03. Jessica Biel
02. Julia Roberts
01. Cameron Diaz

Sorry but McAfee is itself a malware that bogs down your computer.
Who in the hell searches for pics of Julia Roberts!? *shudder*
and its now pawned *cough* owned by intel
Cameron Diaz hasn't been relevant since...well...I can't remember when.
HAHAHA EPIC.
Cameron Diaz hasn't been relevant since...well...I can't remember when.
She's the lead female role in this years blockbuster summer movie with Tom Cruise, it doesn't get any more relevant then that. Frankly I'm more surprised by Jennifer Love Hewitt name showing up on the list.
This appears to be the "PG-Rated" list. Where's the XXX list?
Who in the hell searches for pics of Julia Roberts!? *shudder*
THANK YOU!!!
I'm glad someone said it!

LoL, 20th Century Fox sending trolls to post here on Tom's? You would have gotten away with it too if it weren't for that jab at JLH (have you seen her RACK man?!?).
According to Wikipedia:
So, maybe its a bunch of non U.S. folks searching for Cameron Diaz, cause it certainly ain't Americans.
Who in the hell searches for pics of Julia Roberts!? *shudder*
Some people like a big, toothy smile. Not me, but some people.
I'm fairly certain you couldd just search for "screen saver" and start installing random executables and screw yourself. Adding Cameron Diaz into the string just makes 81% of your searches not relevant to "screen saver" In other news, Nothing to report...
In other news: "McAfee: AMD is Most Dangerous CPU"
In other news: "McAfee: AMD is Most Dangerous CPU"
yeah if they post, "McAfee: nVidia is most dangerous GPU", they might actually be right about SOMETHING for a change...
/shrug
Yes to 3, 6 and 7.
The list is a top 11 unless Heidi Klum is Penelope Cruz in disguise.

get in touch with your feminen side, ask your girlfriend what her favorite show is and she'll probably tell you it's "the ghost whisperer" (starring Jen Lo Hewitt). women love that show about as much as "touched by an angel" and "oprah" and are constantly looking up their clothes/accessories/gossip/fashion trends in hair make up/ blah blah blah blah blahhhhhh ya ya ya ya i know see you on battlenet for more SC2 when you've had enough of that.
as for julia roberts, same thing sappy fairy tale movies/fashion trends...ZZZzzzz
Can we stop giving this no talent should-have-been-a-porn-star free publicity now?
How long is this story going to go circulate on the web.
MCAFFEE SUCKS!!! they can go mcrappy themselves! Bitdefender all the way!
I don't need McAfee to tell me that. Of course, I never did like Diaz.
I love her blue eyes. She can infect my PC any day she likes.
ah can I have her number?
What malware writers haven't caught BIEBER FEVER!?!?! - Sarcasm...
The missed the first most dangeous celeb search:
0. McAfee
What's up with all the hatred against mcafee? Haven't used it since f-prot (dos 6.2 times), but it can't possibly be worse than ca's etrust/itm or more complicated to install than symantec's norton antivirus....
I'm fairly certain you couldd just search for "screen saver" and start installing random executables and screw yourself. Adding Cameron Diaz into the string just makes 81% of your searches not relevant to "screen saver" In other news, Nothing to report...
I will second that opinion, baaaaah.
Who in the hell searches for pics of Julia Roberts!? *shudder*
LOL! I was thinking the same thing!
People cares about that Heidi Klum idiot?
lol I would not be surprised if its justin
Google as the top search site could also be the number one source of searches that contain viruses and malware. This are small programs that harm the computer unit.Beware of Cameron Diaz. Each year McAfee releases its “Most Dangerous Celebrities” report. She showed up at the top of the list. Distributors of malicious content often trick web users into downloading malware by masking the code behind screensavers and photos of famous stars. The most Dangerous Stars list is updated annually with the names the cybercriminals like to use the most.
I would like to know why people have compulsive urges to look up these "celebs" on the net.
I think some celebs paid to get on the list...so as not to look boring.
