McAfee used its SiteAdvisor technology to compile its third annual list of celebrity names that it claims lead to the largest number of risky sites, when searched on the Web.

It warns that Web users looking to catch up on gossip or searching for wallpaper, screensavers, and photos of their favourite stars can unwittingly download spyware, adware, spam, and viruses.

“Cybercriminals pay close attention to the world’s most famous people and target Internet users searching for information on their favourite celebrities,” said McAfee Asia Pacific’s Michael Sentonas.

Internationally, actress Jessica Biel overtook Brad Pitt as the most dangerous celebrity to search in cyberspace.
