Jessica Biel has been named by the security firm McAfee as “the most dangerous celebrity to search in cyberspace this year.” People who search for Jessica Biel photos, videos, wallpapers and screensavers are said to have a 20% chance of reaching a website with a malicious software. Being the riskiest search, fans using search engines to search for the words ‘Jessica Biel,’ ‘Jessica Biel downloads,’ or ‘Jessica Biel photos’ have one in 5 chance of landing at a website that is tested to be positive for online threats like spyware, adware, spam, phishing, viruses and other malware, which can cause serious damage to the searcher’s computer.
Jessice Biel replaced Brad Pitt who was declared on top of the list last year. McAfee said that the actresses’ figure and her relationship with Justin Timberlake might is the reason that people are avidly googling her.
Number two on the list is Beyonce who was also in the same place last year. No. 3 is Jennifer Aniston, no. 4 is Tom Brady (why is Tom Brady no. 4?), no. 5 is Jessica Simpson, no. 6 Gisele Bundchen, followed by Miley Cyrus. Angelina Jolie and Megan Fox are tied at no. 8. Ashley Tinsdale is 9 and Brad Pitt is no. 10.
The data was gathered this July. Of course, it seems that this is one of McAfee’s way of encouraging people to use its product but it is not really hard to believe the truth of these threats. Cyber criminals are one to have easily identified the allure of these searches and have maximized such to perpetrate trouble.

Yeah, I read about this in the PDI too! I've always thought Britney Spears was the virus-giver...I mean searching for her online. Tom Brady is Gizelle's husband. (You can google it to verify, haha..)
Gee Ajang! I have a similar entry as yours! :) So Jessica Biel IS indeed popular. :p
Is she really popular? Or medyo maawain lang yung virus creators, ayaw nila mashado kumalat yung virus? Lol. I would have gone Megan Fox or Rob Pattinson (whee) para mas maraming mainfect. Hahahaha!
