Now virus has a new mask. It could be of your favorite actor or best singer. Just 1 second….you get attracted, you are inviting a virus, spyware, spam, phishing or adware. This is the new marketing strategy of cyber criminals to scam your system. If you are looking for celebrity gossip, screen savers and ringtones be aware of directed into wrong sites. These sites have a legitimate appearance but pose a risk of security to your computers. Brad Pitt and singer Timberlake are the most dangerous celebrities to search for on internet. Other top dangerous celebrities are singers Mariah Carey, Rihanna and Fergie and film stars Angelina Jolie, Jessica Alba, Cameron Diaz and George Clooney. What do they get by injecting virus into our systems? Malware includes viruses, worms and spyware, which are computer programs that report back to a third party a user's activity and Web-surfing habits. he reasons for planting spyware range from simple marketing purposes to more serious things like stealing files or passwords used to access sensitive financial information. There are a number of anti virus soft wares available in the market.
