Jessica Biel isn't the problem, McAfee's stupid list is
Why? Because it's important to make sure the blogosphere takes time out to warn everyone within earshot that searching for Jessica Biel could instantly give your computer a virus, start sending every keystroke to Russian cybercriminals, upload your bank account information to China, and hijack your browser so that every image is replaced with this one [sfw].
Honestly, folks, what's the point of this list? To scare people away from searching for their favorite celebs? Searching for anything on the Internet can get you a virus. I'd be willing to bet that "free porn" and "free mp3" are just as likely to get you in trouble. Hell, searching for "pink unicorns" probably has its dangers, too.
To me, this list says a couple things. One, that McAfee knows how to count. Two, that they can arrange things in a logical, numerical order.
Which brings us to number three - that they need to spend more time putting out an antivirus program that doesn't suck like the Mega Maid and less time trying to grab the spotlight with needless fluff.
If you think Jessica Biel is hot and want to go search for images, go for it. Protect yourself with the right tools, and don't download them from the website equivalent of the rusty old van selling speakers downtown.
Now if you'll excuse me, I'm off to Google to search for some free nude Jessica Biel MP3 ringtone cracks.
So, just how good at time waster games are you? Think you've got the stuff? Well, The World's Hardest Game 2.0 doesn't think you do.
Yes, amazingly, it's possible to have a sequel to a game called "The World's Hardest Game". It doesn't seem logically possible, since if the first one was actually the world's hardest, how could another one come along and share the moniker? It made me doubt the name in the first place. That is, until I tried the game.
The mechanics of the game are very simple. You are a small red square, ...

Lee... I can't believe you're searching for the same things I am! Talk about deja vous. I found this awesome ringtone crack that added a dozen toolbars to my browser, but it was worth it. :)

McAfee's been COMPLETLY uninstalled and I've never been happier.
Google the tool that gets rid of all of it, and don't just uninstall. I'm sure you'll be much happier with even something as simple as AVG
