Female actor Lily Collins is fast becoming a dangerous name to search online. This is the assessment made by McAfee after several consumers got curious about the "The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones" celebrity and used that interest to type the name on search engines.
Collins, who also starred in "Mirror, Mirror", posed the biggest risk of landing on a malicious site, according the computer security company. It can be recalled that last year, Emma Watson topped the list.
Female celebrities were the overwhelming lure to malware; Avril Lavigne, Sandra Bullock, Kathy Griffin and Zoe Saldana rounded out the top five; "Mad Men" star Jon Hamm was the only man in the top 10.
If you're seeing suspicious pop-ups, unwanted toolbars, redirects, strange Google search results, or other unexpected behavior on your computer, you may have been tricked into installing malicious software (also known as 'malware') on your computer.
A person could be led to malware after doing a general search and clicking on dubious links, but risks increased when searchers added phrases like "free apps" or "nude photos."
