'Alia Bhatt Most Sensational Celebrity In Indian Cyberspace'

Alia topped the list with 81 infected search results, followed by Aamir Khan (78 malicious sites), Priyanka Chopra (69), Shahrukh and Salman Khan (64 each), Katrina Kaif (63), Shradha Kapoor (62), Ranveer Singh (61), Deepika Padukone (60), Hrithik Roshan (59) and Sonakshi Sinha with 58 malware-ridden websites to her name.

"By including the names of popular celebrities in a website's search tags, consumers are completely unaware of the security risks that exist which can severely infect their computers, devices and steal personal data," Venkat Krishnapur, Vice-President of Engineering- Consumer, Business Group, McAfee India Centre, McAfee, Part of Intel Security said.

Cyber criminals are consistently looking for ways to take advantage of consumer interest around new movies, TV shows, as well as the latest celebrity-driven trends, he added.

Actors like Kareena Kapoor, Akshay Kumar, Saif Ali Khan, Amitabh Bachchan, Farhan Akhtar and Sunny Leone have all dropped out of this year's list. In 2013, they were in the top 10.

McAfee said users must beware of clicking on third party links and ensure they use web protection that notifies them of risky sites or links before they visit them.

"You should access content directly from official websites of content providers. For example, visit ABC.Com to find Jimmy Kimmel's latest episodes," it added.

Also, users should refrain from downloading videos from suspect sites and "free downloads" since it is by far the highest virus-prone search term.
