Loving to search your beloved Hollywood stars on Google? That might be quite dangerous!
McAfee, a famed U.S. security advice center, has released its fourth annual list of the "Most Dangerous Celebrity in Cyberspace" in 2010.
Camreon Diaz replaces last year's topper Jessica Biel to become new top ranked celebrity.
The company says searching for the "latest Cameron Diaz pictures and downloads yields a 10 percent chance of landing on a website that's tested positive for online threats, such as spyware, adware, spam, phishing, viruses and other malware."
Once a computer is infected, criminals can steal victims' online banking passwords, email passwords, and undertake other "nasty deeds."
McAfee researchers also found Victoria's Secret lingerie models Gisele Buendchen, Adriana Lima, and Heidi Klum were among the Top Ten while tennis stars Maria Sharapova and Andy Roddick were 13th and 14th respectively.
However, U.S. politicians like Barack Obama and Sarah Palin were among the safest high-profile names to search for on the web, McAfee said.
Since 2007, McAfee started to research popular culture’s most famous people to reveal the riskiest celebrity athletes, musicians, politicians, comedians and Hollywood stars on the Web.
Following are top ten stars on the list:
1. Cameron Diaz

One in ten web sites featuring the "Knight and Day" star contain malicious software intended to infect computers and steal data from users, according to research released on August 19, 2010 by McAfee.(Xinhua/Reuters Photo)
