A recent study has revealed the most dangerous celebrities to search online, showing the results that are most likely to attract websites with dangerous computer viruses, really screwing up your day.

Intel Security has released its list for 2015, with musicians dominating the majority of the Top Ten.

The UK's list is below: 

1 Kelly Brook
2 Jordan/Katie Price
3 Nick Grimshaw
4 Rita Ora
5 Victoria Beckham
6 Kate Middleton
7 Idris Elba
8 Frank Lampard
9 Jeremy Clarkson
10 Tom Hardy

This year in the US, Dutch trance DJ Armin van Buuren has leapt over Jimmy Kimmel for that much coveted top spot. Users reportedly have a 17.92% risk of landing on a dodgy website when searching his name.

Elsewhere, country singer Luke Bryan, Usher, Britney Spears and Jay Z also create some Y2K nonsense for your precious desktops, laptops and selfie devices, while artists like Lorde and Katy Perry also make appearances in the top ten.

Other musicians that appear in the Top 20 include Justin Bieber (11), Rihanna (12), Kanye West (16) and Miley Cyrus (19).

See the full US Top 10 below.

1. Armin van Buuren (17.92%)
2. Luke Bryan (17.64)%
3. Usher (16.67%)
4. Britney Spears (16.39%)

In a bizarre marketing move late last year, Usher gave away one his new singles in boxes of cereal. Seriously. 

Earlier this year, Britney Spears released her truly woeful collaborative track 'Pretty Girls' with Iggy Azelea. Click here to check it out at your own peril.
