(CBS) - Internet security company McAfee researched pop culture's most famous people to reveal the riskiest celebrities on the web. From movie stars to top models, cybercriminals are often using the names of stars that online surfers are searching for. As a result, anyone looking for the latest videos or pictures of said famous folks could end up with malware-ridden computer instead of the content they're trying to find. Yikes!

To protect yourself, be careful when you're searching for Scarlett Johansson, Cameron Diaz, Heidi Klum, and more...

"Iron Man 2" star Johansson is No. 9 on the list, but we predict she'll move up. The actress recently found herself in a nude-photo scandal. The FBI is reportedly investigating the release of the star's photos, which were allegedly hacked from the 26-year-old' cell phone.

"Bad Teacher" star Cameron Diaz was also on the list. She was the top "most dangerous celebrity" in 2010. This year, she falls to second place with searches resulting in slightly fewer risky sites than before.

At first place is former Victoria's Secret model and now "Project Runway" produce r Klum. Searching for Klum results in nearly a one-in-ten chance of landing on a risky site, according to McAfee.

See the complete list here, along with the stars that surprised us as not being that risky on the web to search for.
