Most Dangerous Superstars Award on the internet goes to...

Brad Pitt declared most dangerous man on the internet. According to McAfee, the film star's name is more likely to direct a user to malicious sites than any other celebrity moniker. 'Brad Pitt' has been found to be the most dangerous search name of the year.

1st: Brad Pitt

The security firm found that fans who search the name "Brad Pitt" on the web have nearly a 1 in 5 chance of encountering a potentially risky site. 18 per cent of searches lead to wallpaper, screen savers and photos that carried some sort of malware. Searching 'Brad Pitt screensavers' bumps the infection risk up to 50 per cent.

2nd: Beyonce

Actress and pop star Beyonce was rated as the second most dangerous celebrity query. McAfee warned that searching for the singer's ringtones was particularly risky for users and could lead to both malware infection and stolen personal information.

3rd: Justin Timberlake

Third on the list was Justin Timberlake, whose various public romances have made him a hot target for searches and a prime lure for malware writers.

And the runner ups are actress Heidi Montag, singer Mariah Carey and actress Jessica Alba.


Rounding out the list of riskiest searches ealier this year were Lindsey Lohan, Cameron Diaz, George Clooney and Angelina Jolie.
