Don't want a virus? You might want to avoid searching for one of New Zealand's biggest stars on the internet.

True Blood star Anna Paquin is becoming more and more dangerous, and not just because her hands shoot white light out of them when she gets mad. The Oscar-winning Paquin is now the 7th most dangerous celebrity to search for online, according to McAfee's annual 'most dangerous celebrities' study.

The star came in tenth last year.

The celebrity search most likely to land you with malware is model and reality TV star Heidi Klum, who replaced actress Cameron Diaz at the top spot. There is a nearly one in ten chance of coming across a dangerous website while searching for klum.

Searching for Diaz is still dangerous, as she came in second. In third place was the most dangerous male celebrity, Piers Morgan.

In New Zealand, most people who fall victim to cyber crime are searching for celebrities, PC Tools told PC World last year.

The full list:

1. Heidi Klum
2. Cameron Diaz
3. Piers Morgan
4. Jessica Biel
5. Katherine Heigl
6. Mila Kunis
7. Anna Paquin
8. Adriana Lima
9. Scarlett Johansson
10. Emma Stone, Brad Pitt and Rachel McAdams
