Bollywood’s favourite lass Katrina Kaif might be the most googled Indian star but beware, for she is dangerous too! Yes, you got that right, as there are chances that searching for her on the internet can infect your computer with a dangerous virus.Downloading screensavers and wallpapers of Katrina can be harmful to your computer. A report called “The Web’s Most Dangerous Search Terms”, released by computer security provider McAfee Inc, says that the beautiful actress’ name is one of the most dangerous online search words in India and queries related to her name can come up with results linking to malicious software and online scams.
Apparently, the search word Katrina Kaif has a maximum risk percentage of 28.6 (where “maximum risk” refers to the maximum percentage of risky sites a user might encounter on a single page of search results). This is a shade below ‘Wapstick”, a popular website for free downloads of music, ringtones, wallpapers, animations and logos for mobile phones.
Cyber experts suggest that cyber criminals make websites based on most used search terms and offer free download of content to lure the web user. The content in turn has a malicious code attached to it which has the ability to destroy stored data on your PC.
Katrina had a nice laugh when asked about the same. She said, “The virus bit is kind of funny. But the Internet popularity is something which is really special to me. It means your fans and people who like you are thinking about you.”
