Jessica Biel ‘most dangerous’ celebebrity search name

Jessica Biel is the most dangerous celebrity on the Internet, at least as far as searches go. According to McAfee, a whopping 20% of searches for Jessica Biel images, videos, and dowloads lead to sites that contain malicious software of one type or another.  It might not be very sophisticated, but it's certainly effective. Cybercriminals are masters of manipulation if nothing else. As long as users are 'too quick to click,' as the expression goes, this type of attack will continue to entice large numbers of victims into downloading malware and infecting their systems.
