It's that time of year again! PC security firm McAfee just revealed its annual list of the Web's most dangerous celebrities. These deadly celebs may not threaten you personally, but if you click the wrong link while searching for these stars, you're at risk for drive-by downloads, phishing attempts, and scareware.
Last year, McAfee's top 10 featured an all-female cast that included Emma Watson, Megan Fox, and Jessica Biel. In 2013, the PC is still threatened by a wide array of femme fatales, but one man also cracked the top ten.
McAfee says the most dangerous celebrity online for 2013 is Lily Collins, star of "Mirror, Mirror" and "The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones." If you search for this English actress, you run a more than 14.5 percent chance of landing on a malicious Website.

Not all malicious searches are created equally, however. If you really want to risk the health of your PC or mobile device, searching for "Lily Collins and free downloads," "Lily Collins and nude pictures," or "Lily Collins and fakes" should do the trick. These are some of the queries most likely to infect your devices or lead you to a Website trying to trick you into handing over personal information, McAfee says.
