"This year, the search results for celebrities are safer than they've been in previous years, but there are still dangers when searching online," said Dave Marcus, security researcher for McAfee LabsTM.
Searching for Cameron Diaz related content results in 10 percent chance of contacting a proxy site loaded with malicious software. Cameron Diaz is followed by Julia Roberts, Jessica Biel, Gisele Bundchen, Brad Pitt, Adriana Lima, Jennifer Love Hewitt, Nicole Kidman, Tom Crusie, Heidi Klum, Penelope Cruz and Anna Paquin.
However, politicians seem to be a safer bet with President Obama and Sarah Palin ranked 49 and 50. Sports stars Maria Sharapova and Andy Roddick were ranked 13 and 14 respectively.
