Emma Watson is most 'dangerous' celebrity to search for online, McAfee says
Fox News ^ | September 10, 2012

Emma Watson is the favorite celebrity bait for cyber criminals trying to lure Internet users. McAfee said Monday that the "Harry Potter" star is the "most dangerous" celebrity to search for online. That's because many sites use Watson to trick users into downloading malicious software or to steal personal information. When searching for the 22-year-old Watson, there's a one-in-eight chance of landing on a malicious site. This is the sixth time the Intel-owned security technology company has conducted the study, which was last year topped by Heidi Klum. Female celebrities are far more likely to be utilized by cyber criminals: late-night host Jimmy Kimmel was the only male in the top 20. Others among the riskiest celebrities to search online are Jessica Biel, Eva Mendes, Selena Gomez and Halle Berry.

I thought it might have been because her most famous role is playing a schoolgirl and searching for her name would end up taking you to paedo sites...

Hmmm

The porno seekers have moved from Heidi Klum to Emma Watson?

Wonder what accounts for this apparent sudden improvement in taste?

Drudge Report links to a lot of sites that encourage these kinds of searches. I’ve dumped Drudge as a source for news. I don’t think his values match his politics.

Emma Watson has been reported to not want to date celebrities, so I do a little search to get her number and I get a virus for my trouble.

Well, that’s not right.

Go with Emma Peel instead of Emma Watson - she's cuter and virus free!

Interesting.

I got an email from my great uncle Roofus Zandikar in Zimbabwe. He not only has a boat load of ca$h for me but also says Emma wants to meet me. I sent him my ss# and bank account info.

Can't wait to be rich and hanging with Emma!

Pedophiles are not only more perverted, they lose their sense of wariness. A friend used to work for the SBI and he said pedophiles were the easiest to catch because they always documented their crimes.
