Brad Pitt, one of the greatest heroes of Hollywood, husband of the great actress Angelina Jolie may be a heartthrob to many youngsters but unfortunately, he became the riskiest celebrity in the internet world.

McAfee, one of the leading anti virus companies stated once again that the internet is an ultimate social barometer. Black hat programmers, who are always desperate to infect computers, link the malware that they develop with the famous Hollywood celebrities.

It was Paris Hilton last year and now the celebrity is Brad Pitt as stated by the anti-virus company. There is a .2 probability that the computers would be infected in case a search for Brad Pitt like downloads, wallpapers or the name itself is made. The infections would be in the form of spy ware, viruses, ad ware or malware that can result in a variety of bad consequences.

These hackers would put all their concentration on the top Celebrities and once there is a dim in popularity, they choose others An interesting statistic is that Paris Hilton and Britney Spears who were in the top list last year were not even in the top 15 this year. This might be due to a reduction in interest in these pretty girls.

Hopefully, MacAfee developed Site Advisor that can track all the suspicious sites on the internet and fortunately, it has got all the positive reviews.
