Not that Harry Potter star wants you to get a virus for searching on her name

Emma Watson, the actress who played Hermione in the Harry Potter movies and this past week was named by McAfee as the most dangerous celebrity to search for on the Web, says she likes her newfound reputation. McAfee says you have about a 12% chance of running into malware if you search on her name.

In a brief interview with BuzzFeed at the premiere of her new movie, “The Perks of Being a Wallflower,” Watson says the title “totally edges me up” and makes her look cooler. Though she was quick to say she wouldn’t really want anyone to get a virus on their computer because they search for her name or image on the Web.
