I have no idea why anyone would be searching online for Cameron Diaz screensavers, but according to McAfee, if you feel the need to fill up your monitor with a pic of the thespian, you’re putting your computer in harm’s way.
McAfee put out their annual list of Most Dangerous Celebrities In Cyberspace. Shrek star Diaz topped the list because apparently 10% of search results for her name pointed to “risky” sites and searching for “Cameron Diaz and screensavers” opened users up to a 19% chance of malicious downloads.
Here’s the complete list of celebrities:
1. Cameron Diaz
2. Julia Roberts
3. Jessica Biel
4. Gisele Bündchen
5. Brad Pitt
6. Adriana Lima
7. (Tie) Jennifer Love Hewitt, Nicole Kidman
8. Tom Cruise
9. (Tie) Heidi Klum, Penelope Cruz
10. Anna Paquin

How is Tom Cruise 8th on this list? I didn’t know he was still so popular…
It’s not ranked by popularity. It’s ranked by % of search results that are malicious sites.
Every one of the malicious sites that shows up if you search for Tom Cruise is related to Scientology.
Why is that an annual list? Those names probably change from month to month depending on the latest scandal.
Who still uses screen savers?
People that use Internet Explorer.
4.0?
And connect using AOL? But why get celebrity screen savers? Aren’t they happy with their flying toasters?
I preferred the flying toilets actually…
People that don’t know where the power button is on their monitor.
Dear god, people are still searching for Julia Roberts?
Thats what I was thinking
eat, pray, love phenomenon?
What, no Jessica Alba?
Guess I’m outta touch.
A few of those names don’t ring any bells.
If you don’t recognize the names – maybe you should Google them!
oh wait…
My Dad called me up last night to tell me his computer was acting up. It sounded like Conficker, with the “you need to pay for a this to remove what you have” message. So I told him to unplug it and bring it to me. As he was handing it to me this morning, he told me that his friend had been “looking at smut on it”. I cleaned it out, but I’m not sure what to tell him now. Do I warn him not to let his friend search for “smut” while on his computer?
His friend was looking at smut on it? Is this the same friend whose cigarettes he was “just holding” in middle school?
Yeah. I know his friend. He is more computer literate than my Dad, but is still the kind of person who sends forwards he receives in his email. Sigh.
“His friend” should probably stop looking for smut, unless he becomes much more internet and computer savvy.
Tell him his friend can get his own computer. Then he can muck it up all he wants.
Ah. Kate Smith. I’m safe.
Cameron Diaz is so sexy that I won’t mind a virus or two just to search for her pictures or anything related to her… :3
Screen saver or wall paper?
