McAfee has launched its annual list of the most dangerous celebrities to search for online. It warns that cybercriminals often use the names of popular celebrities to lure people to sites that are actually laden with malicious software.

Search for the latest Cameron Diaz pictures or downloads and you have a 10 percent chance of landing on a Web site that’s tested positive for online threats, such as spyware, adware, spam, phishing, viruses and other malware, McAfee says.
